ah interesting. i do wish some of his ideas had a little more research behind them, but they are thought-provoking
I'd love to see someone organize a debate between Zeihan and Jeff Booth. Maybe that's something you can coordinate on your show :)

agreed. If it weren't for being at least thought provoking I would have said that book was trash, but I still gave it 3/5 stars just for the brainstorm enhancing bits. Same goes for a lot of books by James Rickards (die hard gold bug and anti-bitcoiner). They are interesting, but ultimately antiquated and out of touch with current reality.

Spot on re Rickards. Many years ago I found him interesting, but he's a one trick pony and he also pumps his own bags.
