The Road to Ruin
From the bestselling author of The Death of Money and Currency Wars, The Road to Ruin presents a compelling and layered argument: it reveals the global elites’ dark effort to hide a coming catastrophe from investors. Jim Rickards draws on complexity theory to highlight the fragility of the modern financial system, warning that even minor shocks can trigger widespread collapse. He references historical crises such as the 1998 LTCM meltdown and the 2008 financial crash, offering insider insights from his time as General Counsel at LTCM. Rickards concludes with a wealth-preservation strategy inspired by aristocratic legacy planning: allocating one-third each to land, art, and gold, with a portion held in cash for liquidity.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Road to Ruin offers a striking, systemic analysis of financial collapse risk, blending historical narrative, insider experience, and contrarian wealth-preservation advice.
He claims the elite-sponsored crisis plan includes the establishment of a global currency, global taxation frameworks to eliminate loopholes, and a new world order that operates beyond national sovereignty.
While some readers may find its tone exaggerated, many appreciate the systemic view and call for strategic wealth protection.
