Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The global supply chain is broken, perhaps for good. How did we get here and what happens next?

Empty shelves, queues for petrol and energy shortages: crises more familiar to those who lived through the 1960s and 1970s have now become a reality as global shipping times are squeezed, containers lie unopened at docks and supply shortages push up inflation, increasing the cost of consumer goods from milk to cars to building materials.

In Sold Out!, economic forecaster James Rickards (The Road to Ruin, The Death of Money) explains why the shelves are empty, who fractured the supply chain and why shortages will persist. Drawing on years of financial expertise, he breaks down the history and structure of business around the world to offer readers a behind-the-scenes look at what is happening and the steps they can take to mitigate the worst of what's to come. By going beyond the headlines to explain how globalised trade really works, Rickards presents an essential guide to navigating the coming storm.

James Rickards has forensic knowledge of how our global supply chain works. It was a huge revelation to see how it works and how it is going to change. The book is also full of practical advice for the elite and the regular investor. Let’s hope some of the elites read this book!

good thing is that it is not too long. book makes some interesting points but the part about supply chains is long. the conclusion is interesting. jim rickards is full of negative energy and listening for hours to his tone is tough

tedious book narrated with such negative energy

I wasn’t going to purchase this as someone left a review about it being boring. As an economist and lover of data- I’m actually going to buy a hard copy of this book so I can sit with a highlighter. This has been very insightful on lunchtime walks- I’m even on one now writing. Look, buy it- you won’t be disappointed!

So much GEM in this book!
