About this listen

 A Wall Street Journal bestseller

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. Economics Business Money Investing War Capitalism Cryptocurrency Taxation US Economy

What the critics say

"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 writes thought out, fact base literature. This book is even more relevant today then even just 2 years ago

Great book! A sobering look at the incredibly complex house of cards that constitutes the financial system, and the myriad reasons it will inevitably collapse. Highly recommended.

I have been a long term follower of Jim and absolutely appreciate his work and deep knowledge on the economy and investing. Based on his work, one piece of information I have never understood was his 10% Gold investment recommendation. Great read and recommend The New Case for Gold. My only regret, not being informed, sooner.

I have a deep appreciation for Jim and his work.

Nice book. But so much numbers and math equations that makes it hard to follow the story. I guess it would have been better to follow it with a visual

Nice but
