About the book: 2019 / The new issue of Professor Katasonov’s financial chronicles is dedicated to the approaching economic storm in the ocean of international finance. The whole world of “owners of factories, newspapers, ships” is frantically preparing for the second wave of the crisis, in vain attempts to hold on to the sides of their lifeboats during the storm. And only the Russian authorities are showing a mixture of insane courage and sleepy calm on the eve of a cataclysm that could sweep them away along with the remains of the Russian economy. In this situation, the author sees many parallels with pre-revolutionary Russia, which he examines in detail, analyzing the banking of the Russian Empire. Meanwhile, the author believes, there is salvation, and it is not only possible, but incredibly accessible - if you use gold clearing in foreign trade. How can gold help us? What else can you do to avoid dying along with your Western “partners”? Where does the fate of events take us? Valentin Katasonov’s new book is about this. Read and don't say we didn't warn you!
