Synopsis

Now available in paperback, from the bestselling author of The Great Depression Ahead, a book that continues to show readers how to weather the storm in these tough economic times by cautioning against the misguided beliefs that lead to bad investment decisions.

With incisive critical ana lysis and historical examples, The Great Crash Ahead lays bare the traditional assumptions of economics, outlining why the next financial crash and crisis is inevitable, and just around the corner— coming between mid-2012 and early 2015. Widely respected in the financial world for his accurate forecasts, Harry S. Dent, Jr., shows that the government doesn’t drive our economy, consumers and businesses do; that the Fed does not create most of the money in our economy, the private banking system does. This necessary and illuminating book gives very clear strategies for prospering in the challenging decade ahead . . . a world turned upside down.

Goodreads review by Robert on September 14, 2012

This book is about the financial meltdown that has occurred and the deflationary downturn which the author believes is coming over next decade and beyond.

Goodreads review by John on November 06, 2011

Harry Dent's theory is that the state of the economy depends primarily on what the baby boomers are up to. If they are in a stage of life when they are buying houses, raising kids, and spending a lot of money, the economy is going to be great. As they are getting older and nearing or at retirement, t......more

Harry Dent's theory on why spending will decrease in the future could be useful for strategic financial planing. However, I'm a natural optimist... But, as a Real estate agent... Maybe Harry's take on why vacation/second home communities could crash in value is, well... worth digesting.......more

Goodreads review by Mark on March 22, 2016

"The Great Crash Ahead" is at the very least an interesting look at the post-Great Recession economy. This book is full of predictions, many of which have not come true or are yet to come true. If I was to judge this book by the accuracy of the predictions, I would give it a very low rating. However......more

Goodreads review by Brendan on November 28, 2012

Opinionated and foreboding, Mr Dent writes of an impending financial crash, ca. 2013-14, in this book from 2011. He predicts that the DJ will plummet to half its current resurgence. Operating a financial advice program since the late '80s, Dent makes reasonable hypotheses and explains as precisely a......more
