Do the ominous parallels between the 1930s and the current era foretell another crash and depression? What should Canadians be doing now to prepare for the future? What are the guiding rules every prudent worker and investor should be living by? Garth Turner convincingly argues that no Armageddon is on the horizon for at least 15 years, but that by 2020 everyone should be prepared for the worst, as the effects of an aging population wreak financial, social and political havoc. Particularly hard hit will be the baby boom generation - like many people in the 1930s, boomers are largely oblivious to the changing landscape. Turner offers hope. The next decade will offer an historic opportunity for people to prosper and build wealth, so long as they adhere to the new rules. 2020: New Rules for the New Age presents a consistent vision of the future. Described in his hallmark conversational style, Turner offers concrete tax and investment strategies with detailed generational examples for readers from their twenties to their sixties.(2000)
