Ahmed - your posts are always interesting and on point. Unlike most of the other weekly emails - yours has good analysis and a point of view. It also uses a nice wide range of data sources. And very importantly- its a great balance of life and finance. Which is something we are all working on.... please keep it comin'!

A thing to ponder: the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory, which believes that the world runs in 80-90 year cycles, and the Secular Cycle by Peter Turchin et. al, which believes that it runs in 50-60 year cycles, can be synthesized into the Fate of Empire Theory by John Bagot Glubb, that an empire or country can only last 250 year, approximately 5 Kondratieff Waves (Socio-Economic Cycles) or 3 Saeculums (Institutional Cycles). Others like The Storm Before the Calm by George Friedman has noted this. Some would however consider this is crackpot.

As always, I enjoyed this post. I really appreciate the links to videos, articles, and presentations that I can access depending on my priorities. But you supplement almost everything with some analysis that is excellent when I have higher priorities (note that I didn't say have time / don't have time :) )
