Empty shelves petrol station queues and energy shortages: crises more familiar to those who
lived through the 1960s and 1970s have now become a reality for many 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
James Rickards explains why the shelves are empty who broke the supply chain and why shortages
will persist. He breaks down the history and structure of business around the world to offer
readers a behind-the-scenes look at what's really going on and what they can do to mitigate
the worst of what's to come. Drawing on his financial expertise he explains that consumers and
investors need to be nimble to come through this unprecedented turn of events in good shape.
Luckily Rickards is on hand to provide the tools readers need to look ahead monitor key
trends and insulate against risks.
