2022: Revolution
The SaxoStrats are back with 10 Outrageous Predictions for 2022. As culture wars rage across the world, it’s no longer a question of if we get a socioeconomic revolution, but a question of when and how. But which revolutionary prediction do you think is most likely?
EU Superfund for climate, energy and defence announced, to be funded by private pensions
