Abstract generation in progress

We are entering a turbulent new era: unprecedented rapid technological updates that can quickly bring fundamental changes to all aspects of society, and more frequent wars and unrest. Faced with an uncertain future, both leaders and ordinary citizens need to have some foresight. At the same time, amid a flood of information, everyone needs to know how to interpret (or distinguish) the insights of experts (or “so-called” experts) from nonsense.

A long time ago, we discussed “prediction markets,” but they were just a small, academically oriented gambling activity created by the University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business in 1988 for entertainment; although their prediction errors, compared to national polling data from the 1988-2004 U.S. presidential elections, were about 74% lower, the topics, investment amounts, and participants involved were limited.

We recommend accessing Caixin’s database, where you can check macroeconomics, stocks and bonds, company profiles, and financial data anytime.
