The man who predicted the worst economic crisis in US history shows you how to survive it. The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the COVID pandemic is the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. Most fired employees will remain redundant. Bankruptcies will be common, and banks will buckle under the weight of bad debts. Deflation, debt, and demography will wreck any chance of recovery, and social disorder will follow closely on the heels of market chaos. The happy talk from Wall Street and the White House is an illusion. The worst is yet to come. But for knowledgeable investors, all hope is not lost. In The New Great Depression, James Rickards, New York Times bestselling author of Aftermath and The New Case for Gold, pulls back the curtain to reveal the true risks to our financial system and what savvy investors can do to survive -- even prosper -- during a time of unrivaled turbulence. Drawing on historical case studies, monetary theory, and behind-the-scenes access to the halls of power, Rickards shines a clarifying light on the events taking place, so investors understand what's really happening and what they can do about it. A must-read for any fans of Rickards and for investors everywhere who want to understand how to preserve their wealth during the worst economic crisis in US history.

Undeniably good book!

Most part of it is about Covid-19 and very little part on how investors could survive nonetheless still accompanied by good research.

The New Great Depression

Its very relatable to the current economic situation. Worth reading. The author explained very well why lockdowns are ineffective and how they are impending economic growth. How we should approach when investing in different classes of assets during this pandemic. The author also explained, how we could hedge against inflation.

The New Great Depression

Rickards...makes the important point that depressions are as much psychological as numeric...Intriguing policy recommendation...sound advice to investors on how to structure a portfolio to deal with both the threat of deflation and inflation...a bracing collection of salvos...with many genuine insights, which make it an enjoyable book to argue with. Let's just hope that the next 30 years are less bleak than Mr Rickards expects.

The New Great Depression

This is a must-read book. Rickards presents various economic ideas in simple terms. His analysis is unbiased and objective. I believe it is not only credible, but also necessary for knowing how to deal with the upcoming man-made disaster.

Baik

Pada pendapat saya, tidak ada yang baru dari segi penyampaian penulis berbanding buku-buku beliau yang lain. Kekurangan yang jelas mengenai kelas aset alternatif seperti bitcoin, fikirkan apa yang anda sukai mengenainya tetapi wajar disebut dalam konteks emas. Penulis nampaknya semakin tegas dalam pandangannya dan membuat semakin banyak tuntutan yang tidak disokong. Beliau bercakap tentang apa yang di ramalkan dengan betul tetapi tidak pernah mengkaji mengenai apa yang beliau fikir salah. Buku ini dalam hal lebih kurang daripada buku sebelumnya. Kemungkinan ada banyak yang boleh ditulis mengenai subjek sebelum ketepuan bermula.
