Synopsis

The 2009 edition of this book is now out of print and has been updated and expanded and returned to the 1995 title of The K Wave; Profiting from the Cyclical Booms and Busts in the Global Economy (2012) in eBook format.                 

Jubilee on Wall Street will give you an entirely new perspective on the global finanical crisis that is shaking the global economy to its foundations. It explains why the global crisis will accelerate into 2012 based on the long wave cycle. It explains how the long wave will impact your investments including stocks, bonds, real estate and gold. The long wave is in the process of radically changing the world. Barker accurately predicted the global financial and economic crisis in stunning detail-the deflationary debt collapse, crashing stock markets, the international banking disaster, political trends, and the crisis of capitalism, years in advance in his last book, The K Wave (1995). The reader is provided with the powerful evidence for the long wave cycle, including 24 long wave charts. This book makes a convincing case that long wave theory is the most accurate financial market forecaster available. The book reviews how the long wave has been validated by System Dynamics research at MIT. It identifies the final phase of this long wave winter season as a global debt and stock market collapse into 2012. However, the book makes the case for a new golden age for the global economy in the coming long wave spring season, not based on global socialism or the redistribution of wealth, but a new form of genuine and lasting international free market capitalism that will create a global boom.

Praise for JUBILEE on Wall Street

"This book provides an additional interesting historical perspective on the economic long wave."

Jay W. Forrester, Germeshausen Professor Emeritus
Alfred P. Sloan School of Management
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

"Barker justifies the long wave perspective in an excellent discussion of business cycle psychology, the cycles of war, banking, trade, agriculture, technology, and politics. He endeavors to give the investor a rational approach to various investment vehicles."

Dr. James L. Green, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Georgia
The Atlanta Journal and Constitution

"Barker displays a depth of intuitive wisdom we can only call genius. This book is a cool oasis of truth in the Keynesian desert of current academic economics."

P.Q. Wall, Market Analyst

"Barker's book is a must-read for students of the business cycle. He relates the concept of the long wave in a credible and detailed manner. Very thought-provoking."

James M. Benham, Chairman

"The Kondratieff Wave is exceedingly difficult to present objectively and comprehensively. David Knox Barker makes a compelling case for the existence and character of long-term social cycles."

From the Inside Flap

Jubilee on Wall Street: An Optimistic Look at the Global Financial Crash reviews our global economic and financial crises, and presents in clear terms a picture of what the future may hold. Contrary to proponents of gloom and doom, financial market analyst and world-systems analyst David Knox Barker shows that there are positive forces at work that can create The Great Republic--a new golden age that embraces not global socialism and wealth redistribution but true international free-market capitalism.

In Jubilee on Wall Street, Barker explains how the long wave theory, introduced and developed by Russian economist Nikolai Kondratieff, and validated by System Dynamics at MIT, has proven to be a precise forecaster of economic and financial events. The long wave shows how cycles of boom and bust have occurred throughout history--as far back as Leviticus and the insightful laws regarding debt cancellation in the Year of Jubilee.

Barker takes us through a brief historical overview of financial crises, bringing into focus the last two hundred years. He delves into the "seasons" that mark the wave's contraction and expansion. He examines the impact of wars, the role that banks have played, and the influence on stock markets worldwide. He shows the sure disaster if we engage in trade wars. He debunks the myth about the long-term safety of fixed-income securities, and takes a look at the commodity markets and the creation of a new system of international digital gold currency.

In prior editions, Barker accurately predicted the deflationary debt collapse, crashing stock markets, the international banking disaster, and the crisis of capitalism with remarkable accuracy. His latest book offers an optimistic view of the future founded on the theory that the economy thrives on "new beginnings born of adversity caused by prior mistakes and the crises they create." From these crises, he points to the advent of new ideas and technologies, creating a better world economically, politically, and spiritually.
