Back cover copy

Praise for The Money Revolution “Richard Duncan’s newest book, The Money Revolution, is another ‘must-read’ for proactive investors who want to ‘peer over the horizon.’ The good news is…Richard offers an optimistic view ‘over the horizon.’ The bad news is… the optimistic view is only for proactive investors. When people ask me, ‘What is your secret to getting rich and staying rich?’ I simply say, ‘I seek out and learn from great teachers.’ Richard Duncan, most certainly, is one of those great teachers.” —Robert Kiyosaki, investor, educator, entrepreneur and author of the international bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad “The repeated failure of central banks to meet their inflation targets despite astronomical quantitative easing proved Richard Duncan’s key points that investment in the US is dangerously inadequate and financing is not the constraint on investment. Duncan then argues that the constraint is in our minds, that in the midst of globalization we are operating like a fish in a fishbowl dropped into the ocean. This book tells us how to navigate in the boundless ocean we now find ourselves in.” —Richard Koo, Chief Economist, Nomura Research Institute “Richard Duncan’s new book is a clear tutorial about the US monetary system and a timely lens to view policy decisions at a critical juncture in US history. The Chinese are well out of the blocks with a plan to focus on industries of the future they are determined to dominate. For the US, as Richard states, it is this generation’s ‘Sputnik moment.’ His book presents a well-reasoned plan for the future relying on the Fed’s balance sheet to make public/private investments in industries of the future where the US can and should dominate. Further debate about the reasonableness of accumulating more credit is no longer the issue as Duncan explains. The US is in an economic crisis NOW. But, the US also has a unique monetary position from which to find a path forward. We have faced similar dilemma and succeeded. Duncan’s book is well-timed and worth-reading.” —Michael Avery, retired President and fund manager, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc.; Fund Director, Coalescence Global China Opportunities Fund
