Product Description
DIVDIVIn IThe New Golden Age,/I bestselling author and economist Ravi Batra identifies the roadblocks to economic prosperity--and what we need to do to overcome them. Bringing the same insight and expertise that made books like IThe Downfall of Capitalism and Communism/I international bestsellers, Batra takes on falling minimum wages, corporate scandals, rocketing oil prices, and many of the other crises facing the world economy. He also offers an expansive, optimistic vision of how the international community can address them and bring about something historically unprecedented: true global economic prosperity./DIV/DIV
Book Description
DIVDIVBringing the same insight and expertise as he did to his other much-talked-about books, the controversial economist takes on a host of problems facing the world economy, including the oil and housing bubbles, falling minimum wages, corporate scandals, gross ethical lapses, the rise of celebrity economists at the Federal Reserve and elsewhere, and political crises of all kinds. He is unflinching in his criticism of the global economic elites and the suffering and deprivation they have caused in the lives of ordinary men and women. At the same time, he also offers an expansive, optimistic vision of how the international community can overcome the many challenges before it and bring about something historically unprecedented: true global economic prosperity./DIV/DIV

The New Golden Age - Ravi Batra January 8, 2009
The book was written in 2007 and outlines exactly what will...and now has happened over the course of the last year. Using a combination of economic and social cycles Ravi Batra weaves the two threads together in an easy to read and understand presentation. Despite casting a bit of doom and gloom in the short term he goes on to explain why this will be the beginning of something better and tries to initiate thinking/planning at a grass roots level. Enjoyed the book greatly though reading of all the market manipulations by corporations got my blood going a few time. My one regret is that this is a book I need to lend to a few friends to read but they will have to wait as I already started reading it a second time!
On track, it seems October 27, 2008

End of October 2008 now. His predictions from two years ago are unfolding into reality quite relentlessly, on a week by week basis. I learned a lot from this book. I don't know if I can quite buy his theory of cycles, but his incredible success at predicting world events over the past 20 years give him a lot of credibility. He does bring hope that everything will turn out well eventually, but looks like there's going to be a lot of pain before that happens.

We are now Sept, 29, 2008. I have just finished reading his book. Ravi Batra's expose of the current economic turmoil and its causes is absolutely superb. I don't need any economists' works to find some predictions neither do I expect their forecasts to be totally precise and accurate. None of us would have a crystal ball to predict the future. I simply believe he has a superbly logical approach to the facts he reveals. This is what I expect from a great economist.

Read this book and tell me that the events currently unfolding all across America could not have been predicted. So we know that at least one person of intelligence saw the economic/geopolitical mess coming. A terrific book that has proven to be all too accurate.br /br /ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED READING FOR ALL!
