Very Few people know the truth behind what’s happening in the U.S. economy today. One of the few is US economics expert Harry Dent who has gained international attention over the past 25 years through his ability to predict trends, not by luck, but by connection economics to demographics. Commerce is a logical result of people making predictable spending decisions as they move through life. Since his first bestselling book in 1989, Harry has called it right all the way.
The Dent Method
The Dent Method is a long term economic forecasting technique based on the study of and changes in demographic trends and their impact on our economy. As the only documented record of success at forecasting long term economic trends, The Dent Method works by showing how predictable consumer spending patterns combined with demographic trends allow us to forecast the economy years or even decades in advance.
Used by Financial Advisors and individual investors through HS Dent’s Monthly Economic Forecast, Economic Special Reports, Demographics School and The Financial Advisors Network, this method helps predict with uncanny accuracy the health of the economy as well as the stock markets by identifying long-term trends that help build an overall financial picture and achieve key financial objectives.

In all of his past books since 1989, Dent saw an end to the Baby Boom spending cycle around the end of this decade.
In his new book, The Great Depression Ahead, (Free Press, 2009), Harry Dent outlines how this next great downturn is likely to unfold in three stages, with an interim boom stage between 2012 and 2017 before the long-term slowdown finally turns into the next global boom in the early 2020s. In his book The Great Boom Ahead, published in 1992, Mr. Dent stood virtually alone in accurately forecasting the unanticipated “Boom” of the 1990s.
