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.
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.”
評分 評分##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。

Constraints are neither optional nor subject to preferences. 理解每個政治傢決策時麵臨的constraints比起找一堆ex官員打聽各種內幕消息要重要的多(英國脫歐 / 希臘留歐 / 中美貿易戰 這種事情和幾個關鍵決策人的主觀傾嚮關係不大,最後還是要算客觀收益)。但當然政治傢也沒有那麼理性,作者在21年預言說俄羅斯不會主動發起戰爭(因為資源齣口主要麵嚮歐洲),今年就被啪啪打臉,靠宏觀賺錢真是太難瞭。
