Turning points are the most difficult events to predict in either economic or human history. In many areas (the weather, the GNP, etc.) the naive statement that tomorrow will be like today predicts as well as most sophisticated models, except that this naive prediction system cannot predict any turning points. And it is precisely the turning points that are of interest. At the moment, we are bombarded with statements that a fundamental long-run economic turning point is at hand. Energy, the environment, shortages of raw materials, or something else is going to force us to change our economic life-styles and institutions dramatically. Which, if any, of these statements are true? Or conversely, what ignored events, if any, might force fundamental, but as yet unrecognized, changes?
