The article finally lists 15 more clues, to confirm capitalism lost its soul and the disaster will happen.
Those clues are mostly evidences, quite easy to check . But some forecasts are included too, namely # 10, 14 and 15.
As regards # 14 and 15 (“The ‘forever war’ between Western and Islamic fundamentalists will widen”and “As will environmental threats and unfunded entitlements”), quite easy to consider them a quasi-certainty, with a good dose of objectivity…
# 10 states: “Oil and energy costs will skyrocket”. The Author looks sure of it… Surely he is on the right side again, but it would be interesting to know something more about his references and reasons… (USDollar & other paper currencies collapse and/or which other events?)

Nell’ultima parte dell’articolo, sono elencati 15 “indizi”, a conferma che il capitalismo ha perso la sua anima e che accadrà il disastro.
Si tratta in gran parte di “evidenze” facilmente riscontrabili ma anche di alcune “previsioni”.
Sono previsioni gli indizi # 10, 14 e 15.
Riguardo ai # 14 e 15 (“The ‘forever war’ between Western and Islamic fundamentalists will widen” e “As will environmental threats and unfunded entitlements”), le due previsioni sono oggettivamente delle quasi certezze, penso per tutti…
Il # 10 recita: “Oil and energy costs will skyrocket”, quindi l’autore ne appare certo… Forse anche per questa previsione c’è una quasi certezza oggettiva che si verifichi, ma sarebbe interessante conoscerne meglio i presupposti e le ragioni… (collasso del $ ed altre valute cartacee e/o quali altri eventi?)
