Product Description

Review
[Harrison] does make a case for the existence of an 18-year business cycle, which he links to speculation in the property market --Samuel Brittan, FINANCIAL TIMES ...for anyone seeking to understand the vagaries of the housing market, this is a fascinating read --Jeff Howell, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'The man who predicted today's housing woes - ten years ago ... does Harrison really know something we don't?'

What action can be taken to protect from the coming bust? We do not have that long to wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Very Own Crystal Ball, 26 Dec 2007
By Valiant "Valiant" (Stoke On Trent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boom Bust: House Prices, Banking and the Depression of 2010 (Paperback)
A very interesting read. I purchased this book in mid 2006 and so far everything that was predicted has come true. According to Harrison we are in for two tough years in the property market. 2008 and 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scarily accurate so far, 17 Oct 2007
This review is from: Boom Bust: House Prices, Banking and the Depression of 2010 (Paperback)
I read this book 6 months ago, and in the past few months have started to see signs that suggest the author is correct in his suppositions. An essential read for anyone considering buying a property in 2007-2008.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe our politicians should read this !!, 5 Jan 2009
By Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Boom Bust: House Prices, Banking and the Depression of 2010 (Paperback)
I found the predictions contained in this book to be uncannily correct and 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 and 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 boldness in the face of adversity. Economists and politicians take note !!

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't add up to much
Nobody seemed to provide any sort of accurate prediction as to when the housing bubble would pop in the UK. Except that is Fred Harrison. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Why didn't Gordon see it coming?
Can't believe this book was written in 2005, it's all come true - why did Fred Harrison know what was going to happen and our Government didn't? or did they...?

5.0 out of 5 stars fred's being proved right
With UK house prices now crashing and many experts now foreseeing falls of up to 40% it looks like Fred Harrison is spot on with his predictions so far. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars High on opinions, Low on substance - buy something else
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 and not convincing. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars The coming depression - how low will he go ?
As a prominent proponent of the Land Value Tax it is intriguing to find that Fred Harrison comes down on the side of both private ownership and economic growth. Read more
