He's no prophet. Outsourcing of everything was well underway even in the 90s with no sign it would stop short of a catastrophe. As for the ignorance and superstition aspect of it, that's his whole schtick. I don't think people are necessarily a lot more ignorant about science than they were in the 90s, despite the decline of US industry. What might strike some people as odd is that it took like 50 years for people to start to panic about the future of our economy. And even that is probably inaccurate. I think people did panic in the 70s and 80s, but we have so far to fall and nobody expected it to take so long.
