Is The Economy Crashing? Final Stages of The 18.6 Year Economic Cycle with Akhil Patel

from The Shepheard-Walwyn Podcast · host Shepheard-Walwyn Publisher

In this episode, Jonathan Brown interviews returning guest Akhil Patel, author of The Secret Wealth Advantage, about his 18.6-year economic boom-bust cycle and how it can guide major investment decisions. In this returning podcast, Akhil Patel also introduces the longer 55–60 year Kondratiev commodity cycle, describing how its upswing increases international competition, conflict, and inequality, contributing to today’s unsettled, patchy experience across regions (including differences between Australia, the UK, Europe, and the US) potentially shaking the global economic system.
