| "Trend analysis and trend projections are really a very, very poor way of thinking about the future. Trends usually are interpreted to mean straight-line developments so that if something grew by 2 per cent last year and 2 per cent the year before, it will continue to grow at 2 per cent this year and the next. That's childish. Especially when you live in turbulent times like ours" |
