8 Major Forces Shaping the Future Global Economy

A bit of a break from the usual today as we present the latest work from the guys at Visual Capitalist.  It’s no secret we like the way they present our financial world in simple to grasp visual representations.  Their latest, The 8 Major Forces Shaping the Future of the Global Economy, is a fascinating walk through our modern economic era.

It starts with a reminder that we need to constantly reassess our environment and look to both profit from and protect ourselves from the changes we cannot control:

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”  Jimmy Dean

There are some lessons in their for Ainslie readers.  There have been many changes since the advent of money.  Fortunes have been made and lost but there has been one constant protector of wealth in all of that 5000 years… gold and silver.  Look for those opportunities but understand change also brings risk and precious metals will continue their role in protecting your wealth whilst you do so.

Excusing the initial plug for their new book, enjoy this fascinating visual tour of our brave new world…
