Book Reviews of Tomorrow's Gold: Asia's age of discovery
Book Review: Best "Thinking" Macro Investment Book, Stemming from History's Lessons
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a lot of books on investing. This one, for Macro investing, is the best out there. It sticks to big picture themes, major historical moments, and even unusual theories of lost thinkers that really deserve some attention. Pack this with Faber's sharp wit, intelligence and extrapolation and you really learn. It will will absolutely change the way you think and the "norms" that you have always come to believe.
For example, some people say real estate can only go up -- even in our current credit crisis, buy now and you'll make a fortune in the long run. Well, I believed that too until I learned that Philadelphia was the largest City in the USA for decades and in recent, post WWII history, has been surpassed by many others - and guess what its real estate prices, relative to other cities, are not what they were in its heyday. You may have lost out by buying at the top and watching the Cities population dwindle and other cities generate immense wealth!
This is just one story out of thousands that will give you a profoundly powerful new way of looking at investments and macro trends.
I never thought I'd give any book five stars but this one deserves it.
Summary of Tomorrow's Gold: Asia's age of discovery
Renowned investment advisor Marc Faber sets out to find tomorrow s gold the outperforming asset classes of the future. Far from being a sensational reading of the runes, this book delves deep into the past, to chart how old investor trends developed and assess how new patterns might emerge.Change is the thread. As Faber points out, the world is experiencing a transformation as great as Europe s late-15th Century golden age of discovery and the Industrial Revolution of the19th Century events that altered the commercial face of the Earth forever.
And from this dramatic landscape a world in which economic, social and political conditions are morphing at an alarming rate Faber identifies investment opportunities.
Asia s three-billion-strong population will have a profound effect on the world, writes Faber, cautioning that today s richest cities and clusters of wealth are unlikely to retain their exalted positions in the future.
