258: Gerald Celente: The Top Trends of 2018

My guest today is Gerald Celente. Gerald Celente, a pioneer trend
strategist, founded the Trends Research Institute in 1980. He is
the author of the national bestseller Trends 2000 and Trend
Tracking: Far Better than Megatrends (Warner Books), and
publisher of the internationally distributed quarterly Trends
Journal.


For more than three decades, Celente has built his reputation as
a fearless teller of the truth, an accurate forecaster and an
analyst whose expertise crosses many arenas, from economics to
politics, from health to science, and more. Most important,
Celente is a pure political atheist. Unencumbered by political
dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom, Celente—whose motto
is "think for yourself"—observes and analyzes the current events
forming future trends, seeing them for what they are – not as
what he'd like them to be.


As with a doctor who gives his diagnosis after gathering the
facts, whether or not you like the prognosis doesn’t alter the
outcome, it’s simply what is. And while Celente holds a US
passport, he considers himself a citizen of the world.
