"The Coming Clinton Economic Boom"

by Sean Braswell

While this article is based on American politics, it makes claims that could have international affects. This journalist makes five claims on economic and political trends that will lead Clinton into office in the light of a new economy. An U.S. energy explosion led by fracking and other new drilling strategies will help the United States become independent in energy. Major industries in America are dependent on energy. The boom in energy creation will turn into an American manufacturing renaissance. China's costs are apparently rising which, Baswell theorizes, will lead to more internal growth. Unemployment will shrink and exports will rise. With all of this growth, Millennials will step up and feel safe to start buying, when they have been too scared to in the past. This growth in capital use will only help America.
The rest of Braswells claim are built around Hillary Clinton being the obvious forerunner and the loss of Republican support in the United States. This in turn means the Democrats will remain in presidential power, and that power will be centered on Clinton.

This all could have a huge affect on international relations if the author's theories prove correct.
