The first investment playbook to make sense of our radically reshaped global economy, with new strategies to get ahead of the market in uncertain times.

'Any investor with skin in the game needs to buy this book.' Niall Ferguson

From the Stock Exchange to Westminster, the fantasy of an eventual 'return to normal' is still alive and well. But the economic world as we know it - and the rules that govern it - are over. And few are prepared.

Here, market risk expert Lawrence McDonald unveils the predictive model he developed in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers’ collapse, outlining actionable trading ideas for a radically reshaped economy. Readers will discover:

  • Why inflation will stay near 3-5% for the next decade
  • Why hard assets and rare minerals like lithium and cobalt will outperform growth stocks and passive investment strategies
  • Why America will likely lose its position as a global superpower and holder of the world's premier reserve currency

Rather than merely doomsaying, How to Listen When Markets Speak equips readers to make sense of our current moment, resist reactionary narratives and baseless analysis and pounce on a new investing playbook.

McDonald's provocative, passionate and sometimes prophetic insights are always worth pondering, even (or especially) when you disagree. His latest book offers strong riposte to the tech hype, bull-market euphoria, and wishful thinking about a soft landing. It is a thought-provoking work at a time when the global zeitgeist is changing in profound ways.

Gillian Tett, columnist for the Financial Times, provost at King's College, and author of Anthro-Vision

Ian Bremmer, political scientist and president of the Eurasia Group

How to Listen When Markets Speak makes gutsy predictions about seismic shifts in the global economy, advises readers on how to prepare for those shifts, and anticipates trends in almost every asset class while sharing important signals that can give investors an edge in the volatile years to come.

Gregory Zuckerman, author of The Man Who Solved the Market
