As well as finding huge parallels with Ayn Rand's best-selling novel, he draws heavily on Kondratieff wave theory (where his model of the Kondratieff Cycle is ‘screaming' depression and reduction in living standards ahead.

He looks at interventionism with an extremely jaundiced eye and comments on political corruption and its influence, market manipulation and gold price suppression.
