Ravi Batra: Critical Reading For These Economic Times

Warmest Greetings

Recently I heard Thom Hartmann (http://www.thomhartmann.com/) say that reading Ravi Batra is critical to anyone who wishes to be "economically literate". And it is through Thom Hartmann's interviews that I first became acquainted with Dr. Ravi Batra. I was so moved in listening to this man that I checked out his website (http://www.ravibatra.com/) and soon plan to read his most recent book, which my partner Ken is now reading. I am deeply humbled by how little I knew and deeply grateful for how much I am learning now.

What is happening today is not a surprise to many. Ravi Batra, among others, has been predicting the collapse of our economy as we've known it for some time. And unlike George Bush's speech tonight, which shed no light on the facts of what is truly going on and what led America to this precipice, Dr. Batra speaks in depth and with great knowledge and wisdom about the economy and more. His predictions have also been well documented as having a high degree of accuracy over the past several decades. This is truly a brilliant man. And a man with integrity, courage, caring, and uncompromising values. Another world is coming...

About Dr. Batra:
Dr. Ravi Batra, a professor of economics at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, is the author of five international best sellers. He was the chairperson of his department from 1977 to 1980. In October 1978, because of dozens of publications in top journals such as the American Economic Review, Journal of Political Economy, Econometrica, Journal of Economic Theory, Review of Economic Studies, among others, Batra was ranked third in a group of “superstar economists,” selected from all the American and Canadian universities by an article in the learned journal, Economic Enquiry. In 1990, the Italian prime minister awarded him a Medal of the Italian Senate for writing a book that correctly predicted the downfall of Soviet communism, fifteen years before it happened.

Dr. Batra has been written up in major newspapers and magazines, such as the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Time, Newsweek, the U.S. News and World Report, and appeared on all major networks including CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, CNBC, among others. Batra’s latest book is: The New Golden Age: The Coming Revolution against Political Corruption and Economic Chaos.

Best wishes to all through these challenging times.

May we all remember beauty and to care for one another and ourselves.

We are all connected.

Peace & blessings,
