The turn of the 2020s will mark an extremely rare convergence of low points for multiple political, economic, and demographic cycles. The result will be a major financial crash and global upheaval that will dwarf the Great Recession of the 2000s - and maybe even the Great Depression of the 1930s. We're facing the onset of what Dent calls "Economic Winter". In Zero Hour, he and Andrew Pancholi explain all of these cycles, which influence everything from currency valuations to election returns, from economic growth rates in Asia to birthrates in Europe.

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.

What goes up, must come down. As any student of financial history knows, the dizzying heights of the stock market can't continue indefinitely - especially since asset prices have been artificially inflated by investor optimism around the Trump administration, ruinously low interest rates, and the infiltration of behavioral economics into our financial lives. The elites are prepared, but what's the average investor to do?

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..........

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.

Repetitive Repetitive Repetitive
The book has some interesting pints and I will definitely take demographics into account when investing. However, Mr. Dent world does not capture all factors. For example, information grows exponentially so our knowledge and innovation would also grow faster which goes against Mr. Dent's cycles. Just one example.
The biggest problem I have with the book is how repetitive it is. I think the book could of been 1 hour maybe 2.
While Mr. Dent does show many cycles in the US he sometimes uses foreign example to get his point across. If you base your theories on a US model, he should not use so many examples from countries that are not in his model. If the book was 1 hour it might be worth it but at 6.5 hours don't waste your time.

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. 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 real depression starts with you listen
What disappointed you about The Great Depression Ahead?
To have general failed predictions is ok, but to go country by country and make a hundred very specific failed predictions about every one is just painful to listen to.
Would you be willing to try another one of Harry S. Dent’s performances?
No.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

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!
