Greymantle’s Politics & Culture is an independent forecasting and analysis publication covering geopolitics, US politics, and cultural change. We are centrist, non-partisan, and internationalist in outlook – committed to rigorous long-term analysis over the noise of the daily news cycle. Our contributors include independent analysts, academics, and subject-matter experts writing across naval strategy, foreign policy, cultural criticism, and political forecasting.
Ivor Greymantle is a U.S.-based financial analyst specializing in multi-lateral institutions, banking, and U.S. state and local governments with 24 years of experience. Prior to that time, he worked in public relations, film production, and for a non-profit providing free medical information to the public.
Mr. Greymantle holds master’s degree in economics and management from New York University and a BA from the University of Pennsylvania. He has served as a board member for two non-profits based in New York and New Jersey.
Ivor Greymantle is a pen name chosen for the sake of anonymity and in order to keep the author’s professional life, private life, and journalistic life as separate and independent realms.
My professional occupation focuses on research into U.S. state and local government finances, demographics and the U.S. economy. In my view, the financial condition of most U.S. state and local governments is underrated.
Written journalism is the medium through which I absorb most news about the world. Television is mere entertainment. My favorite non-fiction authors are Eric Hoffer, Francis Fukuyama, Philip Rieff, and Christoper Lasch.
My hobbies involve reading, physical exercise including weight lifting, walking, swimming and hiking, and the practice of transcendental meditation. Next to my family, music is my chief pleasure. I own more than 2,000 albums on vinyl or CD.
