Worldwide inflation numbers[1], general animosity among world powers[2], wars in trade and land , global debts rising above GDP everywhere, does not bode well for social peace. There will be revolutions worldwide if this trend continues and if history rhymes.

1. Middle East, SE Asia, and South America all have inflation above 50%.

2. Russia vs west. China vs. the US (Taiwan) Turkey vs. Iran (Syria, Armenia) Venezuela vs. itself

This source is lacking, but the only countries above 50% inflation I can find are Turkey and Argentina. Could you point me in the direction of where you got your numbers?
