He asserted that he is more of a generalist, giving him an advantage, and the ability to see the whole picture.

My real aversion is toward Kunstler's noise. He may be honest, but his honesty is not really backed by a decent education in the social sciences, especially economics. You'll notice that Kunstler also <a href="http://www.kunstler.com/bio.html" rel="nofollow">admits openly</a> that "He has no formal training in architecture or the related design fields." To put it more bluntly, he doesn't have the academic authority to make these overly-broad pronouncements about our economic future. In his ranting, he forgets about the credibility factor.
