Introduction Geopolitical issues such as trade and fiscal deficits, resource supply and demand, and political and corporate malfeasance significantly influence the direction of global markets. I also happen to believe that much of the thinking on these subjects is the repetition of old story lines. As a consequence, public discourse on these subjects generally sheds very little real light on the issues of our day. In particular, my interests lie in identifying and clarifying the current and prospective risk and opportunity environment, as well as strategies for availing oneself of the opportunities and minimizing exposures to the risks. I am the author of The Emperor's Clothes: A Look at the Megatrends Affecting Your Financial and Investment Decisions. Published February 2007, this work accurately discussed much of what was to occur in global financial crisis of the following several years.
