About this audiobook

When Markets Collide is a timely alert to the fundamental changes taking place in today's global economic and financial systems--and a call to action for investors who may fall victim to misinterpreting important signals. While some have tended to view asset class mispricings as mere “noise,” this compelling book shows why they are important signals of opportunities and risks that will shape the market for years to come. One of today's most respected names in finance, Mohamed El-Erian puts recent events in their proper context, giving you the tools that can help you interpret the markets, benefit from global economic change, and navigate the risks.
The world economy is in the midst of a series of hand-offs. Global growth is now being heavily influenced by nations that previously had little or no systemic influence. Former debtor nations are building unforeseen wealth and, thus, enjoying unprecedented influence and facing unusual challenges. And new derivative products have changed the behavior of many market segments and players. Yet, despite all these changes, the system's infrastructure is yet to be upgraded to reflect the realities of today's and tomorrow's world. El-Erian investigates the underlying drivers of global change to shed light on how you should:
Think about the new opportunities and risks
Construct an appropriately diversified and internationalized portfolio
Protect your portfolio against new sources of systemic risk
Best think about the impact of central banks and financial policies around the world
Offering up predictions of future developments, El-Erian directs his focus to help you capitalize on the new financial landscape, while limiting exposure to new risk configurations.
When Markets Collide is a unique collection of books for investors and policy makers around the world. In addition to providing a thorough analysis and clear perspective of recent events, it lays down a detailed map for navigating your way through an otherwise perplexing new economic landscape.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not for the faint of heart -- or mind.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5While the author is no doubt a brilliant economist and investor, he is no writer. Reading this book is like slogging through an economics textbook but without the lectures to explain it. I've had more fun at the dentist's. I think it is a worthwhile read, however, because it offers insight into the thinking of one of the most respected leaders of our economy and the investment world. If one follows the premise that markets follow the leader, El-Erian is a leader who will be followed, and has been. The rush to foreign markets is either a cause or the effect of this man's thinking, and attention must be paid.
