Great Boom Ahead: Your Guide to Personal & Business Profit

Predicting the decline of Japan and the re-emergence of the United States as the most powerful economy on the planet, the Harvard economist offers readers practical advice on taking advantage of the situation. This is a very valuable book for any investor. Despite most economists’ attempts to complicate matters, Dent gives the reader an invaluable insight into how profoundly simple economic prediction can be. Fundamentally, he shows how it all boils down to demographics. I’d challenge any economist to prove him wrong. If you’ve been invested in stocks the last 15 years, most likely you are very satisfied with your results. If I said that the recent past was just a warmup for the next 10 years, you’d probably say I was out of my mind. When you look at the facts it appears that returns in the future could very well top what we’ve experienced over the past few years. A confluence of factors is about to change our society for the better; far better than most anticipate. In his 1993 book, The Great Boom Ahead, author Harry S. Dent, Jr. makes a very convincing case for a renaissance in the U.S. economy in the years ahead. I was a little skeptical when I picked up this book, but when I started reading it, it was obvious that Mr. Dent had done his homework. What’s nice about reading a book like this, written several years in the past, is that a theory can be exposed for what it is; gold or hogwash.
