  So I borrowed a copy from local public library of his latest book to try and understand his 10 rules approach to analyzing an economy.  True, his analysis of Canada is short and light.  But his chapters on world population growth (aging and effect on productivity), kiss of debt (housing and laundering of dirty money) from Asia and elsewhere in developed country markets, and the news Hype Cycle (including the nonsense in the daily business press versus the thoughtful analysis in books) all make the effort and time to read his latest book worthwhile and thought provoking.  
  
  I appreciated this article reminding me to read this book.
