An interesting video from an investment rather than a
political or economic aspect. Particularly this observation from around 7:20 –
I’m just facing
reality because a lot of people and economists don’t face reality because they
don’t study history. If economists and elites studied history more than
so-called economics which in its way is an undefined science then I think we’d have
avoided most of these problems in the first place.
It leaves one with the impression, which isn’t new, that
Brexit should be seen as an indicator of major EU problems and possibly even collapse, not a British anomaly which the EU may safely ignore for the longer term.
In which case it may be more realistic to see Brexit as the first lifeboat launched from a sinking ship, from a disaster which was going to happen anyway and the sooner it happens the better. Not only that, but the first to grab a lifeboat may be better off than those who hang on hoping for something to turn up.

This bloke's credentials bother me a bit, because when I googled "strategian", there is only him (Peter Burke) listed under "The Team", working out of an office in North Carolina.
I've no way of telling whether he is talking economic sense or not, but the EU does seem to be rapidly collapsing. The "Leave" politicos would do well to emphasise this point in the coming weeks, along with the point that it is very much in the interests of the Europeans and the bureaucrats to ramp up project fear. What's interesting about the current situation is that there seem to be zero changes on any social or economic front, yet the psychological anxiety is being raised on a daily basis.
Sam - yes his credentials bother me a bit too, but I decided not to put too much weight on credentials because what he says isn't particularly radical.
Even though he may be too pessimistic as to timescales, as you say the EU does seem to be collapsing and the guy is merely pointing out reasons which others have raised before.
