Well-credentialed economic expert Rickards delivers his accessible analyses and wonky sidebars in a resonant voice with very little personality. His often startling book, full of contrarian advice and observations, would have benefited from a presentation with more flair—in particular, a more persuasive tone for his impressive ideas and recommendations. With his high-level connections and experience, Rickards has an excellent grasp of global economics. His seven-step disaster plan is designed to help financiers and small investors alike survive the drama that he says is coming our way. T.W. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
A Wall Street Journal bestseller
Financial expert, investment advisor and*New York Times bestselling author James Rickards shows why and how global financial markets are being artificially inflated--and what smart investors can do to protect their assets*
What goes up, must come down. As any student of financial history knows, the dizzying heights of the stock market can't continue indefinitely--especially since asset prices have been artificially inflated by investor optimism around the Trump administration, ruinously low interest rates, and the infiltration of behavioral economics into our financial lives. The elites are prepared, but what's the average investor to do?
James Rickards, the author of the prescient books Currency Wars, The Death of Money, and The Road to Ruin, lays out the true risks to our financial system, and offers invaluable advice on how best to weather the storm. You'll learn, for instance:
*****How behavioral economists prop up the market: Funds that administer 401(k)s use all kinds of tricks to make you invest more, inflating asset prices to unsustainable levels.
*****Why digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are best avoided.
*****Why passive investing has been overhyped: The average investor has been scolded into passively managed index funds. But active investors will soon have a big advantage.
*****What the financial landscape will look like after the next crisis: it will not be an apocalypse, but it will be radically different. Those who forsee this landscape can prepare now to preserve wealth.
Provocative, stirring, and full of counterintuitive advice, Aftermath is the book every smart investor will want to get their hands on--as soon as possible.
