"The discussion of why the US middle classes are under pressure, the case for universal basic income and similar ideas is one of the best I have read: humane, lucid and relevant. Rickards has gone and done it again."—Wealth Briefing Asia James Rickards is the author of the acclaimed national bestseller Currency Wars, which has been translated around the world. He is a portfolio manager at the West Shore Group and an adviser on international economics and financial threats to the Department of Defense and the US intelligence community. He lives in Connecticut.
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.
Not what title is Big History lesson - no guidance on what to do after collapse - don't wast your moneyInformative and Engaging It is not often that I read a book on this topic that addresses so many complexities behind the issues it discusses. I felt that Rickards did an excellent job covering so many aspects of wealth preservation while still keeping it interesting. I've read all of Rickards books and Aftermath is easily my favorite. Americans need to take his writings and warnings seriously and learn how to protect themselves from the financial perils that await! Thank you Jim for another home run!ALARMIST TOME Aftermath is described by the author as “the last volume in an international monetary quartet that began with Currency Wars (2011) and continued through The Death of Money (2013) and The Road to Ruin (2016).” I have not read those earlier volumes, but I suspect if you read them all, you have likely been waiting with bated breath for Aftermath.I am old enough to have seen books like this before, prophesying the coming financial collapse and the end of life as we know it. In 1979, I was on a road trip with my mother and stepfather during which she spent the entire trip reading aloud from Howard J. Ruff's How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years: A Crash Course on Personal and Financial Survival. It was the summer before I headed off to college; I was interested in a bright future, not doom and gloom. Nearly 20 years later, apparently having learned nothing, I found myself reading Harry E. Figgle's Bankruptcy 1995: The Coming Collapse of America and How to Stop It, in which the author predicted the coming financial ruin of the U.S., which would then face Latin American level financial collapse. (his example, not mine) The Coming Collapse was not stopped, but neither did it occur. As with Aftermath, the people who benefited the most financially from the sale of these books were the authors, not the readers.These two books at least had the advantage of exuding a sort of folksy charm. Not so Aftermath which runs the gamut from boring to hyperbole, with a few entertaining anecdotes thrown in. Although, seriously, mostly boring. It is simultaneously painfully dull and well written, which is to say it is not rife with grammatical inaccuracies.Some random observations:- Aftermath opens with a quote from Revelations before launching into Greek Mythology.- The author thinks Gerald Ford will one day be known as a great president.- He disses Hillary Clinton.- He gushes about Trump, comparing him to Teddy Roosevelt as a fellow nationalist.By far the most interesting part of the book is when Rickard discusses the plot of Lionel Shriver's The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047, which is a novel about life in the U.S. following financial collapse. He holds this book up as a realistic depiction of our future (much more so than, say, a zombie apocalypse, which I find truly disappointing). I intend to take a look at this novel because it does sound interesting, despite the fact that Rickard describes the book in such detail that I already know how it ends. (Seriously, if I were Lionel Shriver, I'd be pretty ticked.) I do like my post-apocalyptic fiction.BOTTOM LINE: No one can predict the future. Rickard's does not have a magic crystal ball or special arcane knowledge so that he and he alone can glimpse the future and provide you with guidance. He does not have a special monopoly on some secret knowledge. Seriously, if the fields of economics and finances could actually give real insight into the future, don't you think the major financial problems we've seen in our lifetimes would have been avoided? Rickard is preying on your fear of the unknown (and unknowable) future. The only thing that can truly be known is that if you buy this book, you are throwing away your money. And that's no secret.
