the investments best suited for that journey.""

Equities, and coauthor of "Active Portfolio Management"
""A must-read for anyone who has ever touched currency or heard
of money.""
--Vadim Zlotnikov, Chief Market Strategist, AllianceBernstein
""A useful book that underlines an essential reality: Americans
will not be returning to the old normal. We must adapt to a
changing world that presents us with new risks and opportunities.
"The Ten Trillion Dollar Gamble" broadens and deepens a
conversation we have to have.""
--Ian Bremmer, President, Eurasia Group, and author of "The J
Curve" and "The End of the Free Market"

future.""

""A superb book. Russ Koesterich's recommendations spanning
financial and real assets are insightful, relevant, and pragmatic.
Russ is among the select few veterans of the investment management
profession who are able to project academic insights faithfully,
offer compelling investment advice--and write a
page-turner.""
--S. P. Kothari, Deputy Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management
"""The Ten Trillion Dollar Gamble" is a well-crafted book. At
every turn the author explains the rationale for including or
excluding particular assets in a portfolio, especially as they
react to higher interest rates, slower growth, and possible
inflation. The investor who is worried about protecting his wealth
in the coming decade(s) would do well to consider Koesterich's
advice.""
--SeekingAlpha.com"
""A helpful, methodical 'financial playbook' for realistic
investors. Highly recommended for those planning to invest over the
next five years or more. It is not easy to find books that combine
debt macroeconomics with sound financial advice, but Koesterich
manages it well.""
--"Library Journal"
