Maybe our politicians should read this !! - By: Foxylock, 05 Jan 2009 
I found the predictions containedin this book to be uncannily correct & even a bit frightening. Fred Harrison proves the existence of an 18 year business cycle which coincides with the boom bust phenomenon that sweeps the global markets. With startling accuracy Harrison shows us that this has been happening for centuries & our governments are completely impotent. In the final chapter Harrison puts forward his own solution to the boom bust cycle which would no doubt raise a few eyebrows, but maybe we need boldnessin the face of adversity. Economists & politicians take note !!
fred's being proved right - By: cotswolder, 01 Sep 2008 
With UK house prices now crashing & many experts now foreseeing falls of up to 40% it looks like Fred Harrison is spot on with his predictions so far. He seems to be one of the few who have got the timing of the bubble bursting just right.
High on opinions, Low on substance - buy something else - By: J. Tidmarsh, 09 Mar 2008 
hmmm. not an impressive read. The Author alleges to build a case to 'prove' his 18 year economic cycle theory. The 'proof' offered is poor & not convincing. I had hoped for much more than the repeated Mantra of the 18 year cycle, I get the feeling that if he states it enough as fact, then it must be true. Having recently read "The Black Swan" by Taleb, then 2010 was a real disappointment.
I suppose I should have submitted this review after reselling my copy on Amazon. oops.
My Very Own Crystal Ball - By: Valiant, 26 Dec 2007 A very interesting read. I purchased this bookin mid 2006 & so far everything that was predicted has come true. According to Harrison we arein for two tough yearsin the property market. 2008 & 2009 will see a downturn, however, come 2010 the market will once again turn. Currently I would love to move into a larger house but believe you me until January 2010 I'm staying put.
Scarily accurate so far - By: Mimi Mahoo, 17 Oct 2007 I read this book 6 months ago, &in the past few months have started to see signs that suggest the author is correctin his suppositions. An essential read for anyone considering buying a propertyin 2007-2008.
