I enjoyed the book ‘The Next 100 Years’, and thought the arguments about what would happen in the future made some sense.

I got the book because I’d read a few Stratfor briefings - the briefings are normally very expensive, but permission was granted to John Mauldin to pass a few specific ones on last year, and they were very interesting.

Now I find they have their own ‘channel’ on YouTube. The video briefings are quite short, but they still have a bit more insight than you see on the news. (Or, perhaps, a lot more insight than you see on the news, depending on what news you watch.)

The videos are worth checking out, but I feel the need to embed this one in particular, where the author of ‘The Next 100 Years’, George Friedman, describes some of the topics the book covers.
