Introduction: Concepts, crisis versus non-crisis wars, European timelines
History is Speeding Up: Economic indicators, Eurozone deterioration, Arab uprisings, Libya, Clash of Civilizations, methodology.
The Post WW II world - 1945 to 2000: America's Recovery, Awakening and Unraveling eras. Countries today not in crisis eras (e.g., Iran, Iraq, Thailand, Syria, Lebanon, Vietnam, Venezuela)
World in Crisis - 2000-Present: Worldwide increase in xenophobia. Rise of China's military. Mideast, India/Pakistan, Caucasus, Korea in crisis.
Bubbles and Global Financial Crisis - 1995-Present: Economists cannot explain the tech bubble of the 1990s, nor the real estate and credit bubbles of the 2000s. They didn't foresee the financial crisis, they didn't predict where we are now, and they have no idea where we'll be next year. Generational Dynamics provides lots of answers. The world financial crisis is very far from over.
Trends and Controversies: Things that people send me angry comments about. The Malthus Effect. Role of religion. Violence in Islam. The Singularity.
