Contraportada:

For more than a decade, bestselling author and former investmentbanker John Talbott has accurately called many of the majorfinancial crises we have faced long before they occurred. In 2003,he predicted the housing market collapse in his bestselling book,The Coming Crash in the Housing Market. In 2006, he foretold thepeak in housing prices and wisely explained Sell Now!, in a timelysequel to his bestseller. Most recently, he insightfully probed thebottom-up economic policies that would guide Barack Obama to theWhite House in his book Obamanomics.

Past is always prologue for Talbott, and his economic reasoningand free-thinking forecasts about the future have captured people'sattention. In his latest book, Contagion, he again warns about whatonce seemed implausible and impossible—the deepest globalrecession the world has ever seen, one that will forever shake theeconomic foundations and social fabric of our lives.

"Talbott is the author of two books that foretold the painhomeowners are now experiencing. . . . So far many of JohnTalbott's predictions have been spot-on. But as the housing bustcontinues, homeowners in my neighborhood and beyond have everyreason to hope his prescience proves short-lived."
—Daniel McGinn, national correspondent, Newsweek, and authorof House Lust: America's Obsession with Our Homes

"When John Talbott's controversial book, The Coming Crash in theHousing Market, hit store shelves in 2003, the real estateindustry—and everyone else who stood to profit from thedizzying rise in U.S. home prices—gave it a hostile reception.So, with subprime mortgage losses and credit woes now the numberone topic in the markets, what does the former Goldman Sachsinvestment banker see next?"
—The Globe and Mail (September 14, 2007)

With the worldwide financial crisis and economic contagionmutating in ways that foreshadow global economic meltdown, Talbottexplores the necessary government actions and reforms—andstrategies that investors can use—to weather one of the worstfinancial crises in history. Never have Talbott's predictions beenas bold, or his advice about what to do in the future moretimely.
