JFTell me something not already in the general media.
-
SS@Stephen, The color scheme related to events is relative. I believe Japanese militarization given current geopolitical equation vis a vis China and NKorea is a relative +ve and "normal" since minimal
-
SLGreat presentation! "Increased Japanese Militarisation" was green/positive impact. Personally, I would have thought it would be negative or at most medium. I wouldn't trust Abe with an Navy

SBI really enjoyed this. I was surprised by the number of thumbs down. thanks for bringing this to me.

GRU claim Russia invades? US has been invading on spurious pretexts for the past 20 years. Is arming sundry rebels to overthrow Assad not belligerent on the part of the West? Rebels that are criminals
-
GRUS & NATO keep overthrowing govs precipitating humanitarian crisis thus justifying UN interventions. IMF and World Bank have merely loaded EMs with debt and now are doing the same to West economy
-
GRSID, RUS is merely reacting to aggressive Western posturing angling for unipolar world. NATO & US overthrew Ukraine gov & allowed new admin to ethnic cleanse the country using overtly Nazi militias
-
JWIt's disingenuous to talk about income inequality in the US without also adjusting for immigration, since the vast majority of US immigrants are poor. Also need to consider govt transfer payments.

APgood, concise, with excellent charts
-
NTnothing very new here
-
MAGreat presentation - so clear, concise and love all the supporting charts/data. Sid could be my new fav RV presenter. More please!

SSI take it some disagree Russia is belligerent which surprises me , because short of a larger war Russia has done everything, posturing, invading , annexing, strat. support to Syria -not belligerent??
-
SSthe impact +ve or otherwise of Intl Inst. Like UN etc my view is +ve because u have to consider what if they weren’t there. power to convene, channel intl. intl. development is quite an achievement
-
GRIMF, World Bank and UN have a record of success... indeed... but success for whom exactly and at what cost to wider society?
-
GR.... Russia is belligerent...???
-
WMVery good geopolitical/cyclic observations. There is NO question cycles exist but longer term cycles are rarely followed because "its different this time" is the pervasive popular human opinion.
-
FS"... things have not degenerated to the same level [as the period between 1929 and 1945]..." At least not yet! I do not share his view that we are better humans now than we were then. Same old us.
-
KEAgain very interesting talk although I do not share his view of the positive role of all those international institutions (IMF, World Bank, ...)

SSColin you can download the research paper from www.perennitas.com

CDOnce again I enjoyed the approach and talk but many of the slides were way bigger than the screen view. Is it possible to get copies as they looked really interesting?
-
DCMore on cycle analysis please - suggest Charles Nenner for general cycle theory and Lars Von Thienen for dynamic cycle analysis and related software tools.
-
BE"We are living in an era similar to between 1929-1945." That is very worrying, specially for young people like myself.
