Zeihan says a lot of interesting stuff, but his track record is pretty spotty.

Are the other analysts with more accurate track records? Which major issues has he gotten wrong?

He’s incredibly smart and on the whole on the right track.

He gets too excited sometimes, like when I saw him give a lecture and seriously say we’d have 9-10% inflation YoY last year and just as much this year IIRC.

I recommend his book to anyone who is interested, he’s not a pundit or anything and has lots to chew on!
