We're now entering the winter season of the 80-year four season economic cycle. It's during this season that we'll clear the decks with a devastating crash and debilitating deflation. The economy and markets will shed the excesses created during the preceding fall bubble boom season and prepare the soil for new blossoming in innovation and a spring boom. After the blustering bull market of 2009-2015, we are now preparing for a shakeout more painful than anything we've seen before.

Many Americans dream of financial freedom, but they're stuck in dead-end jobs and don't know how to get there. You don't need to be one of them. If you invested $35,000 in the stock market today, it could take 52 years for that investment to grow to $1 million. But if you invested that same amount into one single-family $140,000 rental property, it would only take 19 years. With just two rental properties, you could generate $417,000 in profit in just 10 years. Skeptical?

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

will be spending and allocating differently
I agree with the previous reviewer that this book makes a lot of sense. After hearing this book, I will be spending and allocating very differently. I checked his previous work (just to be certain), he wrote a book called "The Roaring 2000s" and was able to hit the trends with accuracy, although his predictions on how high or how low the stock market was going to hit was off. For me, being able to predict the trends for a given year can shed enough light into an investing style that year.

reaching, but still entertaining.
reaching, but still entertaining. I read the book in retrospect, and it turns out he guessed rather accurately the 2009 crisis though the prediction was just a little later than it actually occurred. Otherwise it's still good to hear The Coincidence of trends historically. I'm not sure I would bet my life on any of it, but certainly worth paying attention to it factoring into the overall picture.

The Science of Observation and Forecasting
The Science (and art) of forecasting is complex and mysterious. To suppose it will be laid out in a clear linear fashion is quite illogical.
It's easy to dismiss a theory based on a given perception, but the previous comment display how easily that is skewed.
The terrorist cycle did not begin in 1992. The activities of terrorists have marked economic and political scenes for decades and indeed centuries.
The IRA (Irish Republican Army) conducted terrorist attacks through most of the 60's and 70's. The KKK terrorized the southern USA through the first half of the 1900's. The Bader Meinhoff gang brought terror to Europe and the UK as well to many Americans in the 70's.
Do you see how the omission of a simple perspective changes much?
Harry Dents pendantry is necessary to understand the convoluted nature of cycles, and more importantly the use (and abuse) of such knowledge by the global elite who manipulate, and to a great extent, 'drive' such cycles.
That money exists to serve the 'Uber-Rich' should be obvious to even the casual student of history.
What is curious is the persistant belief that all movements of economics is axiomatic and beyond human control. The old money comes with old knowledge and power. We the people never weild it, we are it's slaves.
A good look at a subject steeped in contradictions. However, Man plans - God laughs.

A must listen...
I have been following Harry Dent for 15 years now, and have been impressed with him hitting the overall market trends and timing - Harry is not 100% correct, but I have followed his insight for years and it has assisted me in avoiding several large mistakes.
Perfection is not key, but market trends are critical to understand, along with timing. Thanks Harry!

Too much sense here to ignore it
I read the previous review where the writer stated that there were too many what ifs. Well, there are a lot of what ifs in life, but the general theme of this book does not rely on what ifs- it relies on previous cycles and history. The only very questionable cycle is the "terrorist cycle" which only appeared 1992 and 2001. Otherwise, I find the information credible and will prepare with it in mind. Bad news does sell, but bad news also really happens..........
