Zero Hour: The Greatest Political and Economic Revolution Since Democracy Itself

A look into the new book, Zero Hour: Turn the Greatest Political 

and Financial Upheaval in Modern History to Your Advantage.

The Great Boom Ahead put me on the map with breakthrough

demographic indicators and forecasts that tagged the whole

decade of the 1990s. The Roaring 2000s sold over 800,000

copies and introduced its own breakthrough concept:

the "network corporation," characterized by bottom-up, 

not top down, management.

Zero Hour brings together all of the breakthroughs had over

the years, and then adds to them with, among other things,

the discovery of a rare convergence of three-long term cycles

that point to a revolution. A true revolution, like the Industrial

and American Revolutions that brought together the twin

breakthrough concepts of democracy and free-market capitalism.

It was a discovery only possible with extensive collaboration

with my co-author Andrew Pancholi – the only other guy in 

the world who knows as much about cycles as I do.

Today, we're seeing the greatest political polarization

since the Civil War, a debt and financial asset bubble 

that makes the Roaring 20s look like child's play, and

income inequality greater than that experienced in 1929.

But most important, we're seeing breakthrough 

technologies, like the internet, and blockchain to come,

that will change business and politics as we know them.

Biotech and related technologies promise to greatly extend 

life spans and finally reverse the never-ending demographic

decline the world is now facing.

No mainstream economists saw the greatest boom in 

history before it struck, nor the dramatic collapse of Japan.

None have seen this sweeping revolution, which will go

down in history as the one that literally reshaped the world

map, politics, economies, stock markets, and lives!

Trump and Brexit are only the first signs of much more to 

come – and this revolution will not end like it starts – trust 

me on this.

And as if that weren't enough, look at this megatrend that's

about to descend on the global economy. The second

great surge in globalization has peaked and will see a major

retrenchment for decades (not just years) ahead.

Has Peaked

The first surge occurred with steamships and then railroads

before colliding with World War I, the Great Depression,

and World War II… all major political and economic events

that no one saw coming!

Global trade retrenched 60% over 33 years – that's a big deal!

The technological and network revolution ahead driven

the internet and blockchain technologies will finally create

the breakthroughs for the third and final great globalization

surge that will take the world to 90% urban and middle class.
