The Anti-Bubbles: Opportunities Heading into Lehman Squared and Gold's Perfect Storm - Hardcover

by Diego Parrilla (Author)

The Anti-Bubbles is a contrarian framework that challenges the status quo and complacency of Global Markets towards the false belief/misconception that central banks and governments are infallible and in full control. A forward-looking analysis of the opportunities, risks, and unintended consequences associated with testing the limits of monetary policy, testing the limits of credit markets, and testing the limits of fiat currencies. This book presents both sides of the story, including Larry Summer's "prudent imprudence for fiscal expansion", George Soros' "reflexivity theory applied to monetary policy", Mohamed El-Erian s "T-juction and diplomatic neutrality", along the "Lehman Squared" and "Gold s Perfect Storm" investment theses, and coins innovative ideas such as "anti-bubbles", "the acronyms", or "monetary supercycle", which join a series of innovative concepts such as "The Flattening of the Energy World", "The Energy Broadband", or "The Battle for Supply", from Diego s first book.
