Foundation for the Study of Cycles (FSC) Development Director Ron William recently had the pleasure of interviewing David Murrin, a polymath known for his blog in Murrinations. His career has focussed on recurring patterns of history and using them to try and predict the future for markets and society in turbulent times. In his 2009 book Breaking The Code of History, he predicted that the next great viral epidemic would originate in China and that it is almost “impossible for people to compute the magnitude of the disaster we are about to experience.” David’s advisory and speaking work today is based on his direct investment experience combined with a framework that can be used to explain and qualify decisions within an investment team, aid risk assessment, and reduce biases in collective investment decisions.
