The
Great Depression Ahead
Harry
S. Dent, Jr. is the Founder and President
of the H. S. Dent Foundation, whose mission is
“Helping People Understand Change”.
Using exciting new research developed from years
of hands-on business experience, Mr. Dent offers
a refreshingly positive and understandable view
of the future. Mr. Dent is a well-known author
and is known as the developer of The Dent Method,
a forecasting approach based on changes in demographic
trends.
In
his book The Great Boom Ahead, published in 1992,
Mr. Dent stood virtually alone in accurately forecasting
the unanticipated “Boom” of the 1990s.
Today he continues to educate audiences about his
predictions for the next and possibly last great
bull market, from late 2005 into early to mid 2010.
Since 1992 he 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 for leadership excellence. Since
1988 he has been speaking to executives, financial
advisors and investors around the world. He has
appeared on “Good Morning America”, PBS,
CNBC, CNN/FN, and has been featured in Barron’s,
Investor’s Business Daily, Entrepreneur, Fortune,
Success, US News and World Report, Business Week,
The Wall Street Journal, American Demographics and
Omni.
While
at Bain & Company he worked as a consultant with
several Fortune 100 companies. He has also been CEO
of several entrepreneurial growth companies and an
investor in new ventures. A frequent speaker on economic
trends, Mr. Dent educates clients and partners on
The Dent Method and provides strategic vision for
asset allocation and investment selection.
Steve
Forbes is President and

international publication; and Chinese, Korean, Japanese,
Brazilian, Russian, Arabic and Hebrew editions of
