Arguing that the post-2008 recovery has been masked by artificially inflated asset prices and dangerously low interest rates, Rickards identifies the systemic risks—including ballooning debt and political instability—that threaten to trigger the next significant financial crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eLeveraging his deep knowledge of capital markets and unconventional economic analysis, Rickards cuts through the optimism of contemporary market metrics. He challenges the wisdom of relying on passively managed index funds and warns against overexposure in high-valuation tech and media sectors.
