What goes up must come down. As any student of financial history knows, the dizzying heights of the stock market can't continue indefinitely. In turbulent times, the elites are prepared but what should the average investor do?

Good but waffly

This book has some interesting advice (buy gold) and explains rationales quite well. However some of the explanations start from a personal story and seem quite waffly. I nearly returned the book a few times due to it seemingly lost the plot. I'm not pursuaded to change my investment portfolio (which is managed through professionals) on the basis of this book.

Changed my perspective on index EFTs

A sobering book.
It’s changed the way I approach my investments. I’ll start being more careful about shares & potentialy purchasing precious metals.
Definitely worth a read.

Great insights of the financial and corporate world

A great book as always by James Rickards. I hope the next series will come out in a few years time as the economy moves to its new phrase

Love Rickards

James has a way of reducing complexity into common sense. I've been reading Rickards for 4 years now. Look forward to reading Rickards' post crash books ..

Knowledgeable - Highly recommendation

I’ve been slowly trying to learn out about Global economics over the last couple of years though have increased my research greatly over the last few months. I don’t have enough knowledge to form an opinion on where the Global economy is going; so it’s people like Jim I turn to.
This book doesn’t disappoint.

A great book to read, not for listening though

This book has lots of insights and information from the highly-knowledgeable author, James Rickards.

However, a professional narrator should have been hired for the audio book narration.

I would not have minded paying some extra for that.

I started to love audio books recently, but I learned my lesson after this audio book. I will make sure the book is narrated by a professional narrator.

I might be sensitive when it comes to sound, but I did not have a problem in my previous audio book with a professional narrator. In this book, I found the sound (frequent change in background noise due to bad sound management and editing) and less-articulate speaking with too much speed for the hard contents quite uncomfortable to listen to.
