THE
WORLD IS CURVED: David Smick keeps a low profile, but experts consider him one of the most insightful and influential financial strategists in the world. For three decades he has conferred with central bankers (Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke) and advised top Wall Street executives and investors (George Soros, Michael Steinhardt, Stan Druckenmiller). Senior political leaders from both parties (Bill Bradley, Jack Kemp) have regularly sought his advice. These powerful people, like the rest of us, are wrestling with two huge questions: How bad can things really get in today’s volatile economy? And what should we be doing about it? The answers are in Smick’s first book, THE WORLD IS CURVED: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy. Sprinkled with riveting anecdotes, he describes the extraordinary forces that could threaten our future prosperity. Smick probes the essence of globalization and offers practical advice, based on his inside knowledge, about how the U.S. can prevent financial disaster. This is the rare book that both teaches to the elite of Wall Street and Washington, while helping Main Street readers grasp what’s at stake in our turbulent times.
