About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The global supply chain is broken, perhaps for good. How did we get here and what happens next?

Empty shelves, queues for petrol and energy shortages: crises more familiar to those who lived through the 1960s and 1970s have now become a reality as global shipping times are squeezed, containers lie unopened at docks and supply shortages push up inflation, increasing the cost of consumer goods from milk to cars to building materials.

In Sold Out!, economic forecaster James Rickards (The Road to Ruin, The Death of Money) explains why the shelves are empty, who fractured the supply chain and why shortages will persist. Drawing on years of financial expertise, he breaks down the history and structure of business around the world to offer readers a behind-the-scenes look at what is happening and the steps they can take to mitigate the worst of what's to come. By going beyond the headlines to explain how globalised trade really works, Rickards presents an essential guide to navigating the coming storm.

Tell us how you really feel, James.

Well that was a trip. The book started off well enough but quickly devolves into a right wing rant then oscillates between good points and then back to rants. Rickards hits on all of the right wing talking points (renewable energy bad, climate change is nothing to worry about, masks bad, vaccines didn’t stop infections, Obama and Biden are the reason we are in this situation etc etc). It felt like I was listening to my MAGA loving demented uncle at Thanksgiving who would drift in and out of lucidity. It’s a real pity, there are some good nuggets in the book. The rest is… well… it is what it is.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
