Predictive History Methodology and Validating Analytical Models
Professor Jiang explains his motivation for starting a movement that re-examines history as a coherent narrative rather than isolated silos. He argues that historians should make specific predictions to test and validate their analytical models against real-world outcomes. By analyzing human civilization from the Ice Age to the current Pax Americana, Jiang seeks to extrapolate these patterns to predict the next 50 years of global development.
