    Pardon me to correct a fact. The Mobile phone was not discovered by US but by Russians. Leonid Ivanovich Kupriyanovich started research in 1955 and in 1957 he had created a device to work within a 30 km range. The first mobile phone is the "Altai" phone and is the size of todays handphone. It went on sale in 1963, 10 years ahead of Motorola. It is due to the cold war that Russian scientific achievements were not reported in the western media.

      I found Russia to be highly developed nation, one can see technology in use everywhere, I travelled in their high speed trains and did not find mobile signal dropping for any moment. I could travel in a boat which was modified version of the hovercraft in St. Petersburg.

    We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

      People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyper-inflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

Turkey is as cunning as a fox -- yes, Turkey has the hidden ambition of re-establishing Constantinople as the world's capital and ruled by Sharia while it tries to be a member of the EU for 20+ years! This gentleman (who looks like President Bush, Jr) is an admirer of Churchill, the PM who dragged the UK to destruction in WW II. He forgot to mention India.

Higher energy prices will do the rest and can‘t be avoided. The us killed the dollar and will soon understand that companies won’t support sanctions any longer. The horrible geopolitical situation of the us in the next 50 years will kill its industry due the lack of ressources for the transformation. The us has no control over media. Not even in their own country and became a divided nation with huge ideological and armed conflicts. Do not overestimate the possibilities of the USA.

Many economists predict India will be the 3rd or the 2nd largest economy in the World by 2050. India liberalized it's economy in 1990, and ever since it's economy is on the rise . Given the constraints of a democratic set up, India is moving forward some what slowly but steadily.

      People conflate the iPhone with early cellphones, just because it is ubiquitous today.

Of course, there were already cellphones that could handle text, etc., but Apple really made the smartphone a thing. My guess is that people like George use the iPhone as an example just because everyone knows what one is, and it is for most people the stereotypical cellular device.

He further clarified that you need someone (in this case the US military) with an identified need and sufficient funding to address it. He could have also used NASA and point out the development of the ballpoint pen, heart monitoring equipment, and other technologies. The other critical point was that the giving of the technology to the private sector.

      America's economic path is completely unsustainable, and the imbalances in its systems become worse by the year.

To be sure, the U.S. does have the largest and most advanced military in the world, but not by as great of a degree as it did thirty years ago.
      That America has lasted as long as it has under the current system is testament to its inherent geopolitical strengths, but reality catches up with everyone sooner or later no matter how strong they are. The Soviet Union discovered this in a most humiliating fashion.

    This was not a very informative presentation for me.

    The instability in the Middle East was due to foreign military action in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and so on. And now with Russia, pushing Nato into 15 more countries has caused great instability in Russia/Ukraine.
    Furthermore, using GDP as a measure, Korea’s economy might be bigger than Russia's but if one uses purchasing power parity as the IMF and the World Bank do, Russia’s economy is larger than that of Germany. And China’s economy is already maybe 1/3rd larger than that of the US.

    Well, predicting future by looking at the past is of course a popular way to do it. The assumption of this approach is that the future environment is similar to the past. It is quite obvious that the environment today is different from what US enjoyed in 20 century. The gap in technology between US and China or India or any other developing nation in 20th century was so huge that it was almost impossible for those nations to dream about what US had. Today it is not the case. There is no such a technological gap, there wasn’t any significant scientific discoveries in the last 50years (for example nuke or microelectronics) that helped US to be at the top. All existing technologies have been adopted and mastered by all major nations. US is still at the frontier of the technological innovations but US has been loosing its leading position in many important areas - hypersonic is just one of the examples. US has no unique breakthrough technology (and won’t be able to get it in modern world) that will help them get ahead as much as they used to be in 20th century and thus 21st century will look very different for US: USA will become one of many technological powerhouses and America’s technological superiority if any will be marginal

It's not a conflict Russia can even entertain the idea of losing.

    There's a point I often see going missing about these future projections. (Which is inherent in looking at the past to predict the range of future outcomes.)
    The issue:
    Taking the rate of advance for a constant.
    Aka ignoring engineering (Macrotechnology) Point of Diminishing returns.
    Conclusion:
    It takes far more effort to improve upon today's macrotechnology *by the same margins*. This changes power dynamics between leading vs lagging countries to one of but marginal advantages.
    The move from 18th-19th century was littered with what can be described as the Pareto principle of macro technological advances.
    Where small advances brought about a huge improvement. > These "sudden" advances allowed the massive, "overnight" differences in power between nations. These shifting power dynamics one could argue were then leveraged by the adopters of the technology to subjugate the not-yet adopters of said technologies.
    The move from horses to engines is a marvellous advance, metrics wise. It brought about everything from the Eiffel tower to suspension bridges to submarines etc. But we haven't yet seen another "horses to engines" moment happening between today's macrotechnology and those of yesteryears.
    Big leaps in technology from 1950 to today are almost all confined to the realm of the very small. We've got computers perhaps x1000 times faster, but we can't build tunnels, dams or bridges or skyscrapers x1000 faster or cheaper or bigger.
    You hit physical constraints = these constraints permit lagging nations to catch up, giving leading nations but marignal advantages. Marginal advantages which could, case dependantly, be compensated by other means.
    You want examples? Look at the "infrastrcture lag" of certain nations/continents. It's a lot easier (cheaper, doable & scalable) for africans and middleeasterns to have cellphones than bullet trains and access to energy.
    You want more obvious examples? Different sectors still remain uber expensive to the average, working class.
    You are holding a device in your pocket which just a few decades ago would cost similar to a luxury car or small apartment. You can buy a brand new phone (with marginal difference between that and a flagship) for 1/10ths of your wage, but you can't buy a brand new car today for less than it cost back then, nor can your city rebuild a stadium or restore a building for 1/100th of the cost.

      What you say is if there is a need, it will eventually happen given enough time. That can be true. If you give an infinite amount of time and if there is a need, it will probably happen. But that isn't the question. The question is what is necessary for something to happen.
      First, there must be a structure that focuses on the need.
      Second, there must be enough resources. A company will never invest in something if the risk of failure is too high.
      The military doesn't need to make a profit, hence it can do what companies can't. It can invests billions of dollar even if the risk of failures is high.
      There are other ways to mitigate the risk. For example, patents, subsidies or government investments.

    Being Polish and hearing that my country is destined to be some kind of superpower is very enticing, there are some big but(t)s that are in the way (at least in my opinion):
    -rapidly aging population since the late 90's due to many factors, but mostly housing crisis, mass exodus of qualified workforce to western EU after accession and rising costs of living. You're not planning to have children when living in a 2 room rented apartment with rent eating about 1/2 of your salary. This has been mitigated somewhat by the recent influx of Ukrainian refugees, part of which will probably make it their new home for life here. But it is no long-term solution, only a one-time boost.
    -while having educated workforce , relatively low costs of labor, reasonable work efficiency, efficiency is very low du to a number of factors, some of which are below.
    -there is practically no hi-tech industry owned by national (polish) capital. Car industry, advanced machinery, telecommunications etc. is being owned by foreign capital due to western investments or pre 1989 polish industry being sold off for pennies or collapsed. Most of the profits of high-tech, high-profit industry are siphoned out from the country.
    -even sectors as basic as retail groceries chains (Biedronka, LIDL, Lewiatan etc) are dominated by foreign ownership. So when buying tomatoes for your tomorrow breakfast you support the Portuguese, not local companies.
    -healthcare and education systems are in an abysmal state, health sector nearly collapsed during the pandemic due to 30 yeas of very poorly planned and even worse executed reforms. Mean age of nurses is above 50 ears (sic!). Partially because younger medical staff fled to the west (where you can earn 4x times more for doing 2/3 of work done here), partially well... there are very few incentives to work in healthcare, even less in education. Young teacher earns minimum wage, he can earn more working as a cashier.
    And many, many more reasons, why I can hardly see us as a superpower.
    Poland is no means perfect, even more so is not a bad place, has many, many good sides, it should strive for greatness. But a superpower? I highly doubt it. Plus our neighbors (most of which I like) sometimes do not help. Germany for instance, with forcing Nord Stream, fierce opposition to Baltic Pipe, openly hindering our efforts to go nuclear, and all the propaganda against Vistula Lagoon canal. While we would be the ones to bear most the financial weight and risk of being a military shield to CE Europe. Its a difficult task.

      The problem with Morre's law, and it is a rather big one, is how you cool a machine capable of this kind of processing power. I think we are at, or near, the practical limit of what we can do with small-scale computational devices barring a complete revolution in technology. A smartphone is not a Playstation 5, nor is any smartphone in the impending future going to be capable of that kind of processing power. There is only so much you can do with miniaturization. To go further than this requires more space for cooling systems. More cooling systems require more energy. More energy means more space in which a large battery needs to be stored. Computers in general may become more powerful, but this will apply to traditional desktops more than personal devices that can be carried around. I predict that smartphone tech will plateau very soon, and that any innovations will be in quality of life improvements rather than raw processing power.

    Well you are laught at for a reason.

Russia was not economic power even in the soviet days, they are now even with sanctions better than they were in the 90s and late 80s.... and another total mistake of yours is not to mention India and Indonesia as a future superpowers. How can Poland for Christ sake be a power when they have collapsing demographics and bigger than the rest of the EU and live from the donations of Brussels? They don't even have much of national resources. For Turkey the past 5 years were a signal enough that they will not grow much further than they already are, but they have been a power for centauries so it's not like they will vanish.

      My impression is that Japan had already emerged, had since plateaued, and still has a lot to offer but is in a reasonable steady state. Hardly an ‘emerging’ country. He’s 50 years out of date. This guy sees the world as an arena where countries race each other. A lot of regions would rather see it as an ecosystem where countries with mutual interests find each other and develop together for mutual benefit. If this latter paradigm wins out (arguably it has to, or the planetary climate and biological systems will collapse and all civilisation gets set back a thousand years), then the true emerging countries would be those of the most benefit to the most other countries. This is a different way to look back to divine what’s ahead, ie what has happened in the past 50-100 years that will *force* the next 50-100 years, rather than assuming countries continue to enjoy the ability to just want what it wants without considering hard limits of, you know, physics and reality.

    In my opinion, the biggest issue that Mr. Friedmann doesn't take into the discussion is the problem of demographic development in the world. Therefore, all analyses of Mr. Friedmann you can take with reserve. By Mr. Friedmann, everything is more important than the people, technology. Industries, space war, ...... but on the example of Afghanistan, we have seen that the effect of the human element is most important. Taliban have this demographic reserve of boys, each family has from three to five boys, when the oldest is fallen on the field there is a second or the third to take a gun and continue to fight. When NATO or US soldiers fall on the field, there is just a sister or girlfriend waiting for them at home. Ukraine is a country with 44 million people At this moment there are about 500,000 people in the army which is something like 1.1% of the population?! The Winner in this war will be the side that will be capable to make massive mobilization if the Russians take that step for a quote of time they will have 10,000,000 soldiers if Ukraine will have 3,000,000 - but all these regimes are afraid of massive mobilization because there is just one boy in a house in vast majority of Russian and Ukrainian homes.

      Well, he clearly gets his info from the western media.
      According to western media, China is supposed to be collapsing. In fact, it was supposed to be collapsing more than 20 years ago EVEN BEFORE it actually rose!!
      And EVERY SINGLE YEAR since, it was supposed to be collapsing. In fact, I cannot remember 1 year where China was not supposed to collapse.
      And China is still here, still growing, and still growing at a fast pace.
      When the Americans published the book 'The Coming Collapse of China' in 2001, China's GDP was only US1.339 Trillion.
      Last year (2021), China's GDP was already US$17.7 Trillion. It grew >13 times!!! All this while China was supposed to be collapsing!
      According to the IMF, China's GDP this year will be US$19.9 Trillion. That is, it would add the ENTIRE economy of Canada to it's GDP in this one single year alone!!!
      And this guy is STILL saying China is about to collapse, and won't be a great power. It would be Poland and Turkey instead.

This geopolitical subject is clearly not in the position to claim the role of the antagonist against the egemonic power of USA, however it has demonstrated with these recent eventst hat when there's a need they can compact and are still capable to stand against Ucraina which is/was not such a weak country being armed and financed by collective western countries (NATO), and not only survived the sanctions but they benefited of that being an immensely rich country! We/they will see in 25 years cross who is right!
