Geopolitical shifts and economic manias often coincide: Geopolitical rises can lead to unsustainable asset price inflation, potentially causing severe consequences
Geopolitical shifts and economic manias often coincide, with countries on the rise experiencing speculative bubbles. This was evident in America during the late 1800s and 1920s, when the country was emerging as a dominant global power, and in Japan during the late 1980s, as it was seen as a rising economic force. These manias, driven by a sense of hubris and the desire to emulate successful nations, can lead to unsustainable asset price inflation. However, the consequences of these bubbles can be severe, as was the case in Japan in the late 1980s and the United States in 1929. It's important to recognize the potential dangers of this cycle and be cautious in our pursuit of emulating the success of other nations.
