The Great Devaluation: How to Embrace, Prepare, and Profit from the Coming Global Monetary Reset - Hardcover

by Adam Baratta (Author)

#1 Business Bestseller (Wall Street Journal, Amazon, USA Today)

The Great Devaluation may be one of the most timely books ever written on the state of the global economy. Baratta sums it up simply enough with the following idea:

"What seems crazy in normal times becomes necessary in a crisis."

The Great Devaluation is the #1 bestselling book that explains why the real crisis facing the world today is not the Coronavirus. The real crisis facing the world is explosive government debt and deficits. Governments are now left with no choice but to spend more than they make, borrow more than they can ever repay, and devalue their currencies to cover it all up.

Former Hollywood storyteller Adam Baratta brings monetary policy to life in this follow-up to his national bestseller, Gold Is A Better Way. You'll learn how and why Federal Reserve polices have facilitated an explosion in government debt and have systematically undermined the world financial system in the name of profit. The result? An out of control system where financial inequality has become a ticking time bomb set to blow up the global economy.

What happens when central banks lose control of the monetary system? We don't have to speculate--The Great Depression of the 1930s tells us everything we need to know about what to expect in case of a financial collapse. The problem is, very few people understand just how close we really are to repeating this slice of history. All the warning signs are there--asset bubbles, explosive debt, social inequality, and political tensions, to name a few. And yet, we have been able to look the other way, potentially to our peril--until now.

In The Great Devaluation: How to Embrace, Prepare, and Profit from the Coming Global Monetary Reset, national bestselling author and leading gold investment strategist Adam Baratta shines a spotlight on the state of the monetary system and the Federal Reserve. Baratta brings a fresh and engaging perspective to a topic that investors urgently need to understand. He tells the story of how the Federal Reserve grew to be the secretive, ultra-powerful institution it is today, and how its tactics have resulted in an economy that is on its last, wobbly legs.

Although it isn't easy to open our eyes to the imminent reality of economic collapse, it will be well worth the pain. Baratta reveals the history-proven strategies that we can use to insure ourselves against the coming collapse, recession, and depression. No matter what we do, the system is in trouble. The U.S. Dollar is in trouble. The Fed is in trouble. So, why not benefit by consciously pivoting our investments, our business practices, and our society? George Santayana famously said, "Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it." The Great Devaluation is a history lesson that offers readers a road map for what to expect and how to profit during the next, tumultuous decade.

What seems crazy in normal times becomes necessary in a crisis

In 2008, the world economy suffered through the Housing Crisis which wiped out nearly $10 trillion in global asset value. In response, the Federal Reserve created Quantitative Easing, and added $3.5 trillion to their balance sheet over the next seven years. In March of 2020, we had a crisis and the Federal Reserve added another $3.5 trillion to their balance sheet, only this time they did it in a matter of seven weeks!

The real crisis facing the world today is not the Coronavirus. The real crisis facing the world is explosive government debt and deficits. Governments are now left with no choice but to spend more than they make, borrow more than they can ever repay, and devalue their currencies to cover it all up.
