The Great Re-Start from Crisis to Opportunity

How to Successfully Navigate the Coming Social, Geopolitical and Economic Cycles

By: John Mauldin

Narrated by: William Sarris

In The Great Re-Start, noted financial expert and multiple New York Times bestselling author John Mauldin helps you understand the enormous and widespread social, political, and financial problems we are facing. Multiple different cycle theories all suggest a crisis coming at the end of the decade. Mauldin enables you to find your own personal path through them, as various crises reach a breaking point in the next few years. Analyzing the theories of leading thought leaders in the field along with viewpoints of his own, Mauldin delivers a nuanced view of historical cycles and what they tell us about the rest of this decade.

In this book, listeners will learn about the theories of Neil Howe, who originally predicted the very conditions we are going through today in the '90s; Peter Turchin, who focuses on the overproduction of "elites" and the disparities in income and wealth it creates and forecasts a potentially violent pushback; Ray Dalio, who uses a sixteen-variable model to quantify and predict past and probable future cycles and now suggests a 40% possibility of a civil war; and more.

The Great Re-Start is an essential, timely listen for all individuals and families seeking clarity on the problems plaguing humanity, protection from the chaos, and insight on how we can pave a better path forward.
