Book Presentation

Just about everyone is worried about the economy and markets. And the fear is that they will stay down for a long time. But the reality is that entrepreneurs don’t give up. History is pretty clear, every time the economy is thought to be done, worn out, and finished; it bounces back and heads to new highs. In fact, the economy and the markets – counter to conventional wisdom – have already started to bounce back. Even housing is showing some signs of life.

With It’s Not as Bad as You Think, Brian Wesbury shows readers that while the financial future may be hard to predict, it will ultimately be profitable over the long haul. In this forecast of the future, Wesbury takes a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly – and debunks the pouting pundits of pessimism to show how everyone can capitalize on tomorrow’s great possibilities.

Brian Wesbury is Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors LP, a financial services firm. Wesbury is also the Economics editor for the American Spectator magazine and a frequent contributor at the Wall Street Journal. He has consistently been recognized as one of the nation’s top economic forecasters.
