Meh. People were predicting this 5+ to 10 years ago, and gave good reasonings (as they have come to fruition) on why it will happen. Now that is astute.
When you predict it today, it is just common sense.
If you want someone truly astute when it comes to finance, look no further than Peter Schiff.

Read his books, he is brilliant and has predicted things correctly for many years (including the globalization issue). He was Ron Paul's financial advisor during Ron's campaign.. And of course, Ron Paul has been predicting these things (including the globalization issue in-depth) for over 2 decades.
It's rather pathetic how schools don't teach you about money and where it comes from, true finance issues, and how it's manipulated.. Read Peter Schiff's books. And Ron Paul's books.
