The Maharishi and others have said it, or implied it strongly. America would shift to a spiritual basis and India and others would be the top players economically/productively. Americans need to embrace spirituality, at least, the positive aspects of spirituality. It may be forced upon them from their sheer need of such. I have discussed all of this previously.
I note that gold only fell $15.00 when the stock market dropped over 500 points. (shrugs shoulders)
