 Beating The
Business Cycle (198 pages, $24.95 hardcover, 2004, ISBN 0-385-50953-7)
by Lakshman Achuthan and Anirvan Banerji, published by Currency/Doubleday.
This book shows how anyone can predict and profit from the inevitable booms and busts of the economy. It reveals how decision-makers at all levels -- managers, small business owners, and individuals -- can see into the economy's future when making key decisions. Is it the right time for you to splurge on that luxury vacation or addition to your house, or would it be more prudent to cut back on big expenditures and save money for a rainy day? This guide takes the guesswork out of deciding which of the hundreds of economic indicators to trust and which ones to trash. It will give you the tools and confidence you need to make the right decisions at the right times -- even when the rest of the investing and business world would persuade you otherwise. Whatever your position in business, whatever your investment, this book will give you the edge you need to trump the competition and stay ahead of the crowd.
