What comes next for the world?
In this wide-ranging interview, renowned trend forecaster Gerald Celente joins India & Global Left to examine the major geopolitical and economic trends shaping the world today. We welcome the founder of the Trends Research Institute to break down his latest outlook on the international landscape.

We also explore how trend forecasting works, the forces driving global conflict, the possibility of a new Renaissance, and the enormous influence of billionaires and concentrated wealth over politics, war and the search for peace. By evaluating the intersection of financial markets and ongoing conflicts, we map out the reality facing policymakers today. This geopolitical analysis highlights the necessity of tracking these developments to understand the broader forces at play.
