The global elites are spooked and running at the sound of a economic drumbeat. All around are the triggers for a global financial shock. Only this round, the elites have developed a new plan for how to best shelter and protect themselves from the worldwide fallout. The plan is in motion: stockpile cash and call for an all-out lockdown of the international financial system. Following the collapse, and since 2014, the audacious plan acts on a stockpile of hard assets once stock exchanges have closed, ATMs are no longer running, money markets are shut down, a negative interest rate system is imposed and cash is nowhere to be found. In this shocking, thoroughly researched book, Rickards exposes the governments and global elites conspiring against their citizens. This must read puts forward a compelling synthesis of behavioral economics, history, and complexity theory. To be clear, the elite class doesn’t want this book to exist. Acting as a guidebook to thinking smarter, acting faster, and living with the knowledge that your wealth is secure - Jim Rickards ensures you won’t be a victim on The Road to Ruin.
