PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
"... He has written a remarkable book, Geopolitical Alpha, because he generally sees political risk analysts bungling it in terms of their analysis and strategic planning. This is a 'must read' for those interested in global investing and American leadership."
―Mark Brzezinski, United States Ambassador (retd.)
"Geopolitical Alpha is quite literally a bookend for a new paradigm in global markets. Geopolitics is now as relevant to investors as macroeconomics and central banking were in the last paradigm."
―Alan Howard, Founder, Brevan Howard Asset Management
"... For both traders looking to find the next traders or policymakers looking to make better policy, Geopolitical Alpha can help you to better understand how our world works and how to operationalize that understanding."
―Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer, UBS
