{"product_id":"2940170347353","title":"Endgame: The End of The Best Supercycle And How It Changes Everything","description":"Hundreds of books have been written about the financial crisis that engulfed  the world after Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. But what if the bigger  financial crisis is ahead of us, not behind us? \u003cbr\u003e   As John Mauldin and Jonathan  Tepper deftly illustrate in this controversial audio book, the crisis was  more than a half-century in the making. The Great Financial Crisis, however,  was merely Act I. Act II has now begun. \u003cbr\u003e   The massive household deleveraging and historic shift  of private debt onto government balance sheets now underway all over the  world represents the end of a sixty-year global Debt Supercycle. We have now  entered the Endgame, a time when bankruptcies and defaults (disguised as  \"restructuring\") will not be of households and companies but of  governments. The stakes are now higher. The coming crises will offer  policymakers few good choices and many bad ones. It will require  extraordinary clarity and courage from leaders, courage that so far is largely  completely lacking. \u003cbr\u003e   Yet, despite the authors' dark forecast, the message in Endgame is not all  gloom and doom. The book lays out positive steps governments can take to  weather the worst of the stormy days ahead, minimize the inevitable pain and  discomfort most of us can expect to experience, and chart a bold new course  to sustained economic growth and prosperity. \u003cbr\u003e   It also offers investors an abundance of useful analysis and expert advice  on how to protect their assets during the worst of it and prosper from the  many new opportunities that will emerge globally as they present  themselves. \u003cbr\u003e   In Part 2, the authors take listeners on a country-by-country tour-including  the United States, UK, European countries, and Japan-clearly explaining the  problems each country faces, as well as the good and bad policy options open  to each, and the investment pitfalls and opportunities likely to be found in  each national economy. \u003cbr\u003e   Whether you call it the Great Recession, the Great Financial Crisis,  or the Global Debt Crisis, what we are experiencing is unlike anything seen  in eighty years. Now is not the time to succumb to panic and superstition. It  is a time for courage and intelligent decision making informed by the brand  of rational analysis and wisdom you'll find in Endgame.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003c!--EndFragment--\u003e","brand":"Instructional Systems [Aubrey J.
