About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Aftermath written and read by James Rickards.

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The evidence of the past ten years proves that the most devastating financial crisis yet is just around the corner. The global elites are ready to protect their wealth. Are you?

In Aftermath, bestselling financial expert James Rickards sketches the harrowing economic crisis that's right around the corner and identifies the asset classes that are most-and least-exposed.

Provocative, stirring, and full of counterintuitive advice, Aftermath is the book every smart investor needs to get their hands on - as soon as possible.

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.

Great book with realistic incite and subtle advice. It gets you thinking beyond today’s social bubble

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.
