I tend to agree that these things seem likely in the major arc of human civilization, although I doubt that anyone alive today will still be around in the future where it can be said that nation states are a thing of the past.

Two renowned investment advisors and authors of the best seller The Great Reckoning bring to light both currents of disaster and the potential for prosperity and renewal in the face of radical changes in human history as we move into the next century.
