An engaging and practical romp through contemporary financial and economic history–and what it means for your financial future
Economic booms and busts are happening with more frequency. Since the turn of the new millennium, fortunes have been made and lost at a blistering pace. Each boom is like the tension building up before an earthquake. Seismologists can detect the build-up, but they can’t necessarily explain why–or when–the next quake will hit. Economic busts can be equally devastating…and followed by numerous aftershocks.
In this entertaining romp through recent economic and financial history, best-selling author, Addison Wiggin, traces the primary trends that have led up to rapid economic growth and innovation while keeping an eye on the inevitable downturn. The author practices ‘literary economics, ‘ telling stories about the characters behind the scenes and their motives, making this wide-ranging book easy-to-read. The current edition has been revised, adapted, and re-imagined, enlightening readers about what’s happening behind today’s top headlines:
* The rise of new financial innovations over the past decade, including cryptocurrencies, mobile trading platforms, and the democratization of financial markets
* How the policies of the Federal Reserve following the Panic of ’08 led an entire generation to become unwitting speculators in stocks, bonds, real estate, and rare commodities
* What impact new political trends–environmental, social, governance (ESG) and diversity equity and inclusion (DEI)–have had on managing your own money
Ultimately, the book helps place current events in the context of identifiable historical trends. The book proposes that when you understand what the primary trends are and follow them to their logical conclusion, it makes planning for your financial future much easier.
What will be the role of the US economy in the future as policy makers try to grapple with new competition, economic and political, from Brazil, Russia, India, China – the so-called BRICs? The author follows the facts, the trends, and the stories that make up history and parlays them into forecasts for what he sees coming next. Ultimately, you’ll get a review of previous trades and a new Trade of the Decade.
