2019 and 2026 is being predicted by the men who predicted 2008's crash in 1997. Despite what mainstream economists would have you believe, recessions are fairly predictable as they generally follow an 18-year-cycle. Most economists are blind to this pattern since they are educated through the neo-classical school of thought which downplays the role of land in the economy. Don't let the government make you think the problems of 2007/8 have been resolved. Expect more of the same so long as banks get to speculate on the Earth.

Take your agenda ridden article to the conspiracy theory forum, where that type of debunked economic thought belongs.
 
I dont think that the timing a the next global crash can be predicted, but it is coming, sooner rather than later.
 

Please explain how your link disproves my point.

Oh, wait, it PROVES my point:

Average, all cycles:
1854-2009 (33 cycles)
1854-1919 (16 cycles)
1919-1945 (6 cycles)
1945-2009 (11 cycles)
17.5
21.6
18.2
11.1

"It’s important to remember that the Great Recession was not caused by an unexpected event. To those who study the real estate cycle, the crash happened precisely on schedule. It was painful, but it inaugurated the next iteration of the real estate cycle."
How to Use Real Estate Trends to Predict the Next Housing Bubble


"one thing that the purveyors of monetary policy (and all prudent investors) should become well versed in is a piece of business-cycle history that has apparently passed them by – namely the little-known, but essential, 18-year real estate cycle."
The Great 18-Year Real Estate Cycle | Cato Institute


"A study of US history, for example, reveals a very clear (average) 18 cycle in US real estate prices, measured from trough to trough or peak to peak. The actual cycle has never been shorter than 17 years, never longer than 21."

What is sooner?

Me being a procrastinator means "sooner" lands on my mental calendar, it is something that I have to care about even though I likely dont wanna....

Are you insinuating it will be a recession as a result of an inherently flawed global finance system, or that it will be engineered?

It is a flaw in our economic system which we have learned to accept as just the "natural order of things."

No, I don't think there are Bilderbergers/Illuminati pulling puppet strings here. ;)

The Illuminati were actually pretty cool guys and I wish they still existed as they once were, but these silly conspiracy theories distract people from the inherent corruption and domineering nature of the system itself. I am sure Bilderberg (it actually doesn't have a name, it is merely a convention of the most influential government and business officials from the EU, US and China) and the much more powerful and influential G20 organization would love to have the amount of control and domination over the world economy that CT'ers claim they have, but what these people don't realize is that the system itself is the enemy.

That, in a nutshell, is how I see it. To be clear, conspiracies happen to some extent, they just aren't necessarily conceived in dark, smoke-filled rooms. The legacy of Henry George (the man in my avatar) was essentially destroyed by a conspiracy. Once the 3rd most recognized American (after Twain and Edison) and writer of a book that was surpassed only by the Bible in copies sold, the landed elites saw his solution to the boom-bust cycle as a threat to their wealth. Much like how the Kochs seek to influence academia today, elites in the 19th and early 20th centuries sought to change the economic field by introducing neo-classical economics, which eliminates the idea of land being distinct from capital. I think it goes without saying, they were successful.

Professor Mason Gaffney writes about it in The Corruption of Economics.
