Maybe.

I've been reading articles reaching very similar conclusions for about 40 years.

The economy hasn't collapsed yet. (Which doesn't necessarily mean it won't tomorrow.)

However, the sky is falling types do not have a great record of successful prediction.

I have a book written about 1930 or so that predicts the longterm failure of socialist systems.

It took 70 years for the Soviet Union to collapse.

When the prediction is made isn't as important as when it comes true.
