In the The Long Winter Ahead, Harry S Dent, Jr. predicts that as the Baby Boomers age, they will slow in their consumer spending in order to save for their coming retirements. Dent states that Baby Boomer consumer spending has been the engine that has driven the American economy for nearly thirty years; what happens when that engine begins to sputter?

Originally published in late 2006, the The Long Winter Ahead examines the likely end to the greatest boom in history and the onset of the Long Winter. For nearly two decades, Harry S. Dent, Jr. forecast the Great Boom Ahead. Now, it is finally time for that great boom to turn to bust, in what he forecasts to be the long economic winter.

The Long Winter Ahead makes the following predictions: a stock market crash around 2010 with a real estate crash soon to follow, high unemployment, soaring budget deficits, higher taxes, and a tectonic shift away from the business-friendly government policies of the past 20 years. We can expect a more activist state, fueled by populism, which will seek to “fix” the economic problems that are coming. Think this is far-fetched? It happened during the Great Depression in America and as recently as the 1990s in Japan, and neither of those situations had the pension and Social Security crises facing contemporary America.

This report lays out a scenario for the future based on demographic trends and historical precedents. Most importantly, it will give you a plan for financial preparation to grow and — most importantly — to protect your nest egg.
