Synopsis

Harry Dent has been predicting for some time that we are about to enter a prolonged downturn, one that will be looked at by historians as a classic economic depression, due to demographic factors---one of the largest generations in history---the Baby Boomers---are leaving the workplace, either due to planned retirement or involuntarily (due to layoffs or not being able to find work), which will have a profound impact on all sectors of our economy. This economic downturn could have been swifter and the pain much less, had the Fed allowed it to happen naturally. However, due to several rounds of Quantitative Easing, essentially pumping "free money" into the economy, the Fed has not only delayed the inevitable, but they have ensured that the downturn will be much longer and much more severe than it could have been. Harry Dent believes that the Fed can no longer keep the bubble from popping much longer---and when it does pop---every individual will need to be prepared for a period he calls an "economic winter." In this program, you'll learn the personal and business strategies that will be essential to protect and preserve your assets, and the few areas of the economy which will still do well during this winter period. This is essential listening for every American citizen.

Goodreads review by YS

A quick read. The author is of the view that when the baby boomer generation retires, that's when recession will come because their spending becomes less, etc. I found that this view is pretty narrow and doesn't take into account other external factors such as governments printing money, reforms in b......more

I really enjoy Harry's economic books, specifically ones on demographics. He did not finish the thought around how he thinks the China bubble will contract the Canada and USA money laundering real estate markets. If the Chinese have purchased these with cash how will the contraction in China force t......more

Goodreads review by Marcus

This is a short book, with lots of typos, as if it was rush to press. Also, while much of the advice is common sense, typical of economic cycles and many past bubbles, it does not consider lifestyle issues or the tax consequences of moves. Many brokerage firms will not allow trades in the advised fu......more
