The future is this web made of all the threads humans weave between themselves and tomorrow. In the work GEAB teams have undertaken to understand the \u2018web\u2019 of the future, it is very important to identify the anticipations, projects and strategies that seem most relevant and effective. As you know, we are particularly keen to elucidate the strategies of the major players who dominate the process of shaping our future. But the future is being shaped in different ways and in different places. In this article, we choose to look at the anticipations emerging from the net, assuming that their web visibility is necessarily related to their degree of influence on the future. Here is a small Reader’s Digest of what came out, which we have decided to offer here for your own reflection and thought. Note that, according to the anticipation paradox that says \u2018the best anticipations do not see the light of day,\u2019 it is in the nature of these highly visible web anticipations that the risks they anticipate will generally be avoided. Therefore, what must be kept in mind in order to clarify our \u2018intelligence for the future\u2019 are the strategies that are deployed prior to these great anticipations to divert their trajectories and the fruit of their combinations.<\/p>\n
2020: the next global crash<\/strong><\/p>\n Everyone seems to agree on a soft landing for 2019, if with rather gloomy figures. Landing the Plane<\/em> is the Goldman Sachs title of their analysis for 2019, although some strategists are more pessimistic, especially regarding US and European growth prospects. Everything seems to hang on the impossible Brexit situation (both for the remainers and the Brexiteers): deal\/no deal; hard\/soft; Brexit\/not Brexit… This is certainly the case for the EU, forced to stay in an extremely unfavourable wait-and-see attitude, while the rest of the world just keeps on turning. \u2018Wait and see\u2019 being just another English expression\u2026\t\t
