In this straightforward financial-planning guide, the author predicts an economic boom in the early 21st century with dramatically different lifestyle opportunities. He suggests ways to tailor investments and career choices to benefit from this forecasted transformation. One of the world's most prescient economic forecasters unveils his predictions for the beginning of 21st century - and shows readers how we can take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities that will accompany the great financial boom to come. Dent's previous book The Great Boom Ahead (Hyperion, 1993) accurately predicted the stock market boom of the 1990s. In this one, he looks ahead to the new millennium and claims that the Dow may reach as high as 35, 000 within the next decade, due in large part to the changing demographics of baby boom investors. - Dirda . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 318, (2) pp
