Geopolitical Alpha – An Investment Framework for Predicting the Future provides readers with an original and compelling approach to forecasting the future and beating the markets while doing so. Persuasively written by author, investment strategist, and geopolitical analyst Marko Papic, the book applies a novel framework for making sense of the cacophony of geopolitical risks with the eye towards generating investment-relevant insights.
Geopolitical Alpha posits that investors should ignore the media-hyped narratives, insights from "smoke-filled rooms," and most of their political consultants and, instead, focus exclusively on the measurable, material constraints facing policymakers. In the tug-of-war between policymaker preferences and their constraints, the latter always win out in the end. Papic uses a wealth of examples from the past decade to illustrate how one can use his constraint-framework to generate Geopolitical Alpha. In the process, the book discusses:
What paradigm shifts will drive investment returns over the next decade
Why investment and corporate professionals can no longer treat geopolitics as an exogenous risk
How to ignore the media and focus on what drives market narratives that generate returns
Perfect for investors, C-suite executives, and investment professionals, Geopolitical Alpha belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in the intersection of geopolitics, economics, and finance.
##"Preferences are optional and subject to constraints, whereas constraints are neither optional nor subject to preferences" 用詞比較難讀,各種吹自己過去反market consensus & had made the right call……
##既要分析約束,也要觀察互動,而互動總是充斥誤解和麯解。作者對俄羅斯開戰的分析踢到鐵闆,多半就是觀察互動時失焦瞭。值得多讀幾次。
地緣政治與宏觀經濟趨勢。“From the above decade trends, I concluded that treating politics and geopolitics as an externality to markets made no sense.” 嘲諷開啓,笑死。第二章長篇分析中國時有點準。後麵關於 a Multipolar World 的論斷也有意思,反我刻闆邏輯。總之,因為彆人推薦所以囫圇吞棗掃瞭一遍自己能看懂的部分,還是覺得力所未能及。“Falsehood flies, but truth comes limping after.”
##所以還是選擇跟隨吧

##好書,但是我們無法像作者一樣做徹底的全球主義者
##"Preferences are optional and subject to constraints, whereas constraints are neither optional nor subject to preferences." "Life is full of sacrifices, a product of constraints." Preference is about exploring inside, while constraints is about looking at the outside. I have to do both.
