Risks, Myths and Investment Opportunities in a Radically Reshaped Economy

'Any investor with skin in the game needs to buy this book.' Niall Ferguson 
 
From Wall Street to the White House, the fantasy of an eventual 'return to normal' is still alive and well. But the economic world as we know it - and the rules that govern it - are over. And few are prepared. 
 
Here, market risk expert Lawrence McDonald unveils the predictive model he developed in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers’ collapse, outlining actionable trading ideas for a radically reshaped economy. Readers will discover: 
<ul><li>Why inflation will stay near 3-5% for the next decade</li><li>Why hard assets and rare minerals like lithium and cobalt will outperform growth stocks and passive investment strategies</li><li>Why America will likely lose its position as a global superpower and holder of the world's premier reserve currency</li></ul> 
Rather than merely doomsaying, How to Listen When Markets Speak equips readers to make sense of our current moment, resist reactionary narratives and baseless analysis and pounce on a new investing playbook.
