In this important resource, the authors reveal what it will take for individual investors and business leaders to prosper as the economy heats up prior to the next predicted downturn, preserve wealth in the upcoming Great Depression, and profit on the way out of the depression. The imbalances and maladjustments have a while to play out, and the authors pinpoint the investment opportunities to be had in the countdown period.
