Course Overview

Why I still believe:

  • The World’s economic centre of gravity is relentlessly shifting East, to pivot on China
  • In a Global currency ecosystem curated by China, there is no future for crypto currencies or indeed dollar dominance,
  • Western nations must learn to live as servants to Eastern masters, where some servants are better looked after the others & the UK will be the East’s best looked after Western servant
