經濟市場根本不如人們所言樂觀！受聘美國國防部、情報界金融顧問James Rickards教你聰明投資人怎麼鞏固他們的固有資產

　　儘管川普執政期間頻發績優財報，打造一片樂觀的經濟前景，然而，物極必反，從金融產業過往的歷史經驗不難發現，股價不可能永遠居高不下，那些業界菁英早已做好準備，但其他普通的投資人要怎麼辦呢？

　　寫下數本獨具先機的著作如《下一波全球貨幣大戰》，作者James Richards揭示現今經濟體系正面臨著怎麼樣的風險，並提供極珍貴的避險建議，如：

　　■小心撐起整個市場的行為經濟：藉由401(k)退休福利計畫，無所不用其極讓你提撥更多薪水至個人退休帳戶，誇大你的資產價值，讓你實行力所未及的投資計劃。

　　■比特幣和以太幣等虛擬貨幣不碰為妙。

　　■被動型投資被言過其實：一般投資者通常會選擇被動型投資來管理他們的資產，然而主動型投資者較容易在短期內獲利頗豐。

　　■預見下一次危機後的經濟前景：當然不至於翻天覆地，但肯定和現在大相徑庭，遇見此景的投資者現在就可以開始準備避險，守護自己的財富。

　　本書發人省思且提供各式意想不到的建言，讓所有聰明投資人都迫不及待，想入手一本！（文/博客來編譯）

　　In his most prescriptive book to date, financial expert and investment advisor James Rickards shows how and why our financial markets are being artificially inflated--and what smart investors can do to protect their assets

　　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?

　　James Rickards, the author of the prescient books CURRENCY WARS, THE DEATH OF MONEY, and THE ROAD TO RUIN, lays out the true risks to our financial system, and offers invaluable advice on how best to weather the storm. You’ll learn, for instance:

　　-How behavioral economists prop up the market: Funds that administer 401(k)s use all kinds of tricks to make you invest more, inflating asset prices to unsustainable levels.

　　-Why digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are best avoided.

　　-Why passive investing has been overhyped: The average investor has been scolded into passively managed index funds. But active investors will soon have a big advantage.

　　Provocative, stirring, and full of counterintuitive advice, AFTERMATH is the book every smart investor will want to get their hands on--as soon as possible.
