has authored two consecutive best sellers
The Roaring 2000s and The Roaring 2000s
Investor (Simon and Schuster). In his
latest book, The Next Great Bubble Boom,
he offers a comprehensive forecast for
the next two decades and explains how
fundamental trends suggest strong growth
ahead, followed by a longer-term economic
contraction. Mr. Dent also publishes
the HS Dent Forecast newsletter, which
offers current analysis of economic,
and financial market trends.Mr.
Dent received his MBA from Harvard Business
School, where he was a Baker Scholar
and was elected to the Century Club
