Publisher's Summary
A Wall Street Journal and National Best Seller!
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 US 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 best-selling 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-listen 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.
Critic Reviews
“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 Financial Times)

Excellent and well researched prognosis
Rickards has produced an engaging and well-researched analysis of what may well lie ahead post pandemic (and why). History sure is a great teacher.

Balanced approach to play Post-COVID scenarios
Great analysis of the Spanish Flu and SARS pandemics to play out post COVID economic scenarios. The section on portfolio balancing and case for Gold are worth putting into your plans.

Provides very sound advice; highly recommended!
This my second book of Rickards' after Currency Wars. I found myself taking notes throughout all of the chapters.
In short, I really appreciated a deeper drive into the Spanish Flu, in order to better explain our present and likely future. The investment advice towards the end of the book was also great. He touched upon the sort of models use, and what these models are saying. In the book, it was predicted that gold prices would currently be around US$2500 per ounce, though they are currently at US$1800; might be a good time to buy!
I highly recommend listening to this!
