The Syndicate

I have started reading this esoteric book that I actually bought as a Christmas present for my dad.

It's called The Mathematics of History, and it's a condensation of a 9 volume predictive theory of history written in the 40s and 50s by a Catalan Republican pharmacist exile. Amongst other factoids, he predicted the collapse of the USSR towards the end of the 20th century and that despite its twin defeats, Germany would become the dominant European power into the 21st.

So it should be kind of fun even if it is bogus. If it is not bogus, someone invented psychohistory (but it's probably bogus).
