Stratfor’s Top Predictions for the “2010s”


February 24th, 2010 · Business, Economics, and Finance, China, Europe, Russia

Sam’s always pre­dict­ing gloom and doom for the US econ­omy (often while mys­te­ri­ously tout­ing that of Israel).  So, I thought I’d share STRATFOR’S TOP PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT DECADE: China Col­lapse, Global Labor Short­ages, New Amer­i­can Dom­i­nance.

Indeed, the US does face some real issues (not actu­ally men­tioned by Busi­ness Insider’s overview), but this is not the Great Depres­sion.  What many eco­nomic indi­ca­tors show is less real­ity than a twisted, ana­lytic ver­sion of real­ity.  If you doubt it, I have one ques­tion: is per­pet­ual eco­nomic growth not tied to pop­u­la­tion possible?
