Mr. Niall Ferguson: Stick to History

I just finished reading Mr. Niall Ferguson's prediction of Europe 2021. I usually enjoy Mr. Ferguson's ideas and his craftmanship. This time around, both were wanting; the article in the Wall Street Journal was soft on craft and poor on fantasy.  Maybe his projection in 2012 on 2022 will have cleared up some of the blind spots in his vision. We should all stick to Malachi, Mother Shipton, Nostradamus and Cayce. They're more entertaining.
