Doug Casey on trends and inflection points

Trends in motion tend to stay in motion until they reach a climax.  At which point, anything can happen.

But unfortunately, at great revolutionary turning points in civilization—which we’re involved in now—things usually get worse even after the old trend stops.  This happened in Russia in 1917 and in France in 1789.  Just because the old trend finally runs into a brick wall doesn’t mean that things get better right away.  There’s a period of chaos after that.
