Swine Flu to Have Double-Edge Impact on Global Economic Downturn

Dutch Futurologist says the Swine Flu will accept a acrid appulse on the all-around bread-and-butter downturn

Atlanta, GA -- The Chinese byword for crisis consists of two words crisis and opportunity. Even the alarming Swine Flu crisis presents an accessible bread-and-butter and amusing danger, and for some investors, an opportunity. Although a clothier fabricated vaccine for the Swine Flu will be accessible six months from now, assembly all over the apple accept been affairs stocks of called biologic companies for several weeks. And, accept it or not, according to Dutch futurologist Adjiedj Bakas, some of these (often private) investors accept been accomplishing this, because their banking astrologists audacious them to do so.

In a allocution at Emory University in Atlanta today, Bakas portrays the approaching of the World's economy. His views, absolute in his just appear book, Beyond the Crisis: The Future of Capitalism, are based on interviews with top economists from all over the world, assembly in the all-around banking industry, and, actual surprisingly, banking astrologists. He says that above clandestine investors, multinationals and barrier funds are counseled by banking astrologists. These humans admonish their billionaire audience if to buy or advertise stocks, in which industry, or if to advance in which bolt or start-ups. Financial astrologists accept been shy of publicity, but for the aboriginal time some who admonish several billionaires, batten to Bakas, who was afresh adopted "Trendwatcher of the Year 2009" and "Black Businessman of the Year 2008" in The Netherlands.

In his book, Bakas writes that we will assuredly accept to accede that even afterwards the Stimulus bacchanalia of the endure few months, we'll just accept to sit this New Great Depression out. This is an Economic Winter, we'll accept to accomplish use of this aeon to adapt ourselves for the Economic Spring, which is due to alpha afterwards 2011. Investing in the old abridgement won't advice us move forward. And we'll accept to anticipate creatively about the new kinds of jobs bare in the new economy.

According to Bakas several contest are in motion that will drive the bread-and-butter abatement into a absolute New Great Depression, bringing with it a lot of amusing and political unrest. But he is not afraid about the Depression in itself, which he describes as the 5th Depression in the endure 200 years. Something like this consistently happens at the end of one abstruse era and afore the next era takes off.

The 1930s may accept been a time of abysmal bread-and-butter crisis and accumulation unemployment, yet in those canicule the Kennedys fabricated their fortunes, art deco was complete and the radio, car, and blast grew to be so abundant in appeal that abundant new industries emerged out of the ashes of the crisis. During the above bread-and-butter crisis of the 1980s the claimed computer, adaptable buzz and Internet were complete and developed into above new industries.

This Depression too marks the end of an era and the bearing of a casting new one. During the accepted crisis we assuredly say goodbye to the 20th aeon and alteration into the new, post-material economy. This alteration aeon offers amazing opportunities. Genetics, bio- and nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and robotics, new activity as alternatives to deposit fuels, and decay recycling will become huge in the next bread-and-butter cycle. Smart investors are already gearing up for these new industries.

In Beyond the Crisis, Bakas explains the accustomed breeze of the abridgement with ups and downs. He envisions Boom afterwards Doom, yet a absolutely altered affectionate of Boom than we acclimated to know. We say accost to a new era, with China as the new all-around assertive instead of the U.S., with globalization axis into slowbalization, with beneath abundance and added focus on the Economy of Happiness. The book is alien by China's arch economist, assistant Wang Jiabao, who says, "this book will change your life."

In the arising bread-and-butter apple order, cities and in actuality "city states" will become important, says Bakas. Already 20 above cities in the apple are of added bread-and-butter accent than 100 countries. He predicts a New Middle Ages because of beneath identification of humans with their countries, and added identification with adoration and spirituality. The debates about the new bread-and-butter pillars will be heavily afflicted by adoration and spirituality.

With roots in three continents (India, South-America and Europe), Bakas is absolutely a all-around citizen, a man of today's fast affective world. He is the aboriginal columnist to amalgamate economic, technological, political, airy and abstruse trends in a individual book about the accepted crisis and the way out of the mess. He may be provocative, "Detroit can alone be adored and renewed, if it goes bankrupt first. Stop the bailout." But his alarming book gives you insights from the assorted perspectives you charge to get through the a lot of astringent crisis of our lifetime.
