Top Goldman Sachs analyst says the world is moving into a new super cycle
- SUMMARY
The global economy is entering a new “super cycle,” driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and decarbonization.
This cycle is characterized by lengthy economic expansion, strong demand for goods, and high levels of employment.
AI and decarbonization are still in their early stages, but their impact on the economy is likely to be positive.
AI can lead to increased productivity and innovation, which can drive economic growth.
Decarbonization efforts can create new jobs and reduce pollution.
Comparisons to historical periods, such as 1970s and 1980s, and late 19th century, help us understand the current developments and learn from past experiences.
While not all factors from previous super cycles will continue, key lessons can be drawn from history to best position ourselves for the coming economic environment.

“We’re not likely to see interest rates trending down as aggressively over the next decade or so, we’re seeing some pushback to globalization and, of course, we’re seeing increased geopolitical tensions as well.”
“Elevated inflation and interest rates were perhaps more structural issues than compared with now, he said, however factors including growing geopolitical tensions, rising taxes and enhanced regulation appear similar.”
