1492, 1789, 2020: A Tale of Two Worlds?
ABOUT THE EVENT
Michael Power suspects that, like 1492 and 1789, 2020 will in time be regarded as a tipping point in history. The Covid-19 pandemic will have the effect of accelerating and even cross-reinforcing the five key trends set to dominate the coming decade and beyond:
Debt and how runaway and unfunded government spending will eventually reveal modern monetary theory to be a false god
Tech where advances will benefit humanity as a whole whilst leaving behind key segments of it
Climate change and the challenge facing renewable energy to help avert it
Demographics which will be a bane for the West and a boon for most of the rest
Asia’s economic rise and how it will challenge the West’s primacy
He will conclude by suggesting what all this means for investors in the West.
