Von der hinteren Coverseite

In the days after the 2008 financial crisis, surveying the debris of the global economy, our leaders swore they would never allow such a disaster to happen again. But that crash didn't materialize out of thin air and neither will the next one.
Blame the Committee to Destroy the World.

Over the past eight years, a small group of politicians, central bankers, and regulators adopted wildly activist policies to solve the debt crisis and promote recovery. Zero interest rates… QE schemes to monetize trillions of dollars… currency debasement. All of it was guaranteed to lead the world straight into the jaws of another financial crisis.

Today the markets are much more distorted, the world is much more indebted and leveraged, and geopolitics are much more fractured. These corrupt and inept policy makers have no tools left leaving us on the verge of a "Super Crash" that will make 2008 look like a garden party.

Credit expert Michael Lewitt pulls no punches in explaining where we went wrong. But the real power of this book is in his solutions not just at a policy level, but for individual investors managing their wealth. In this book he:

• Details how all asset classes are grossly inflated in value stocks, bonds, real estate, art, collectibles and how to find and exploit the pockets of opportunity
• Highlights the worst investments to hold now
• Reveals the secret to investment success in a post-crisis global economy
• Discusses the importance of formulating your own "alternative strategy"
• Gives specific recommendations on the U.S. dollar, gold, equities, bonds, income-generating securities, emerging market investments, and more

Lewitt's message: It's not too late. The global financial system is resilient. But investors no longer have the luxury of waiting for politicians and central bankers to come to their senses. They need to act in their own self-interest starting now.
