This is a crucial year in American history... perhaps the most important ever. Like 1776, 1861, 1929 and 2008, this year will mark a major turning point, as the country is finally forced to pay the price for its fiscal irresponsibility... and the crisis it causes will be bigger than any the world has ever seen.

That’s the warning from Harry Dent, the Harvard-educated business strategist and best-selling author who predicted nearly every major boom and bust of the last 25 years.

This is the man who foretold of the economic collapse that hit Japan in 1990… predicted America’s completely unanticipated boom at the end of the 20th century… warned readers to get out of Internet stocks weeks before the tech bubble peaked in 2000… and sounded the alarm of the coming European fiscal nightmare months before the euro zone crisis began in 2011.

Each time, the “experts” said he was wrong. Each time, he was exactly right.

Harry’s uncanny ability to predict the most pivotal economic events comes from 30 years of groundbreaking research, during which he studied every major bubble of the last four centuries. From the Dutch tulip bubble (1634–1637), to the South Seas bubble (1719–1722), to the Roaring Twenties/Great Depression (1920–1943), to the Tech/Real Estate bubble (1990–2012), no one understands cycles and bubbles better than Harry Dent.

Now Harry warns of the greatest market collapse in history. His diligent research has uncovered four unavoidable, long-term economic forces that are about to deal a devastating blow to our government, our monetary system and our society.

These cyclical patterns collided only once before in the last 100 years — during the depths of the Great Depression, between 1930 and 1934. And now they’re all pointing down again… indicating a shattering slowdown beginning this year and lasting through 2019.

But as with every major economic crisis, this one will make many people very rich. Some of the greatest fortunes in history were made not in boom times, but in slumping economies… by intrepid people who understood the tremendous opportunities that exist during a downturn.

That’s how the Kennedys made their fortune. They paid pennies on the dollar for financially-burdened companies and assets during the Great Depression.

It was the same for Warren Buffet. He launched his epic investment career during the sluggish 1970s, snapping up stocks on the cheap when no one else had the stomach for it.

And more people keep figuring it out. In 2009, just one year after the last big crash, the number of U.S. millionaires increased more than 16%. It’s been the same story after every big collapse we’ve seen.

So why do some succeed when so many others are failing? It comes down to:

• Knowing what’s coming.
• Knowing what to do about it.
• Being bold enough to act.

And that’s where Harry Dent comes in. Harry recently revealed his most important predictions since warning readers to get out of the market months before the 2008 collapse.
