Re: Basic Information For Futurists
Hi Boyd,
Thanks for the link to the article, I enjoyed it!
Boyd.... Here's what I've found one of the most remarkable books of prediction.... Remarkable, because it makes sense, and has proven to be incredibly accurate!
I'm talking about "The Great Boom Ahead," by Harry S. Dent.... It was published in 1993. In it, he not only predicted the economic boom we've been seeing, but also the recession in the Japanese economy....
The incredible thing is, he predicted it almost purely on the basis of demographics.
I won't say too much here, but his approach has been shown to be accurate, and is also very rational (something I personally look for).... I think you'd probably appreciate it. :)
Once you understand his technique, you can extend it to the future.... You can get a good idea about which business sectors will be "booming" over the coming few years, and which sectors will start to go "bust"....
This is useful information, both for the long term stock market investor as well as for the small businessperson or independent professional....
