Summary

During your life, you will make many important financial decisions. Their success will be significantly affected by the state of the economy and financial markets when you make them.

Imagine if you had a guide to the future to help you anticipate periods of boom and bust and make decisions accordingly. You'd know when to invest and take risk and when to sell or take measures to preserve your wealth.

The Secret Wealth Advantage is that guide.

To make better investment decisions at the right times, you need to understand the 18-year cycle. It is responsible for all of the periods of wild speculation and spectacular collapse that have been a feature of the modern economy for well over 200 years. At the heart of this cycle is the property market. Understand this, and you will be able to forecast precisely what will happen next.

Using a treasure trove of historical data and entertaining stories from the present and prior periods, The Secret Wealth Advantage reveals everything you need to know about the cycle–where we are within it, why it happens, why no one sees it, and what you need to look out for.

And, most importantly, The Secret Wealth Advantage provides you with a practical guide for what to do at each stage of the cycle. Put this into action and a world that appears complex and chaotic can be mastered. You will have an investment edge that seasoned professionals can only dream of.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fascinating and well structured explanation of the land cycle

Easy to follow and intuitive, this guide to the hidden value in the land cycle is only slightly let down by the overly-actorly reading voice. Someone who understands market economics would've been a better choice of voice artist as the overly dramatic emphasis of the reader started to grate before long.

Fascinating insights with solid theoretical economic underpinning

This was a brilliant read; well researched and very sound reasoning. An excellent introduction to the 18.6 year land cycle.

Excellent book

I finished this book in 2 days, couldn't put it down. Really insightful deep dive into the 18 year property cycle and the law of economic rent.

the author gives a guide on what to do and how to position through each phase of the cycle.

it all sounds very familiar. I'm looking back to the property boom of the early 2000s, 07-08 GFC and what's happened since.

I think I'll also be buying a hard copy of the book so I can go back and refer to sections easily.

Well done Akhil Patel on an excellent financial book which is informative and accessible to a lay person like me.

Very interesting read

Highly recommend this book. It’s a very thought provoking piece of work laying out the boom and bust phenomenon that exists in economies and how to predict when these might happen.

Truly Fantastic Book

I have been aware of the 18 year property cycle for almost two decades through Fred Harrison’s excellent books. As such, I stumbled across this new book by accident and felt it would add little to what I already knew. I was completely wrong. The book represents an evolution of those previous works and brings the discussion of the cycle to the present day. I was expecting a book about when to buy and sell property to maximise returns, and whilst it does that, it offers so much more. Through the cycle, it is able to explain much of the social inequality and political upheaval that is found in most of the world today. An exceptional piece of literature that is now officially my favourite book.
