Harry S. Dent Jr. is founder of HS Dent, an economic research firm; editor of Survive and Prosper newsletter; and chairman of SaveDaily.com, a low cost investment platform for financial institutions. His mission is "Helping People Understand Change." Using years of hands-on business experience, in the late 1980s Dent developed a new way of understanding the economy and forecasting what lies ahead based on consumer demographics, which he outlined, in late 1992, in his book, "The Great Boom Ahead." In that book he stood virtually alone in accurately forecasting the unanticipated boom of the 1990s and even called for the next great depression to start in 2008. Dent has authored several bestsellers including "The Great Depression Ahead in 2008," and his latest, 2011 book "The Great Crash Ahead: Strategies for a World Turned Upside Down," he outlines why government stimulus is doomed to failure and the economic havoc that lies ahead. Dent regularly lends his economic expertise to the media on television, in print, and on the radio, and is sought after as a panelist and speaker for international forums around the world. He graduated from the University of South Carolina and earned his Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School where he was a Baker Scholar.
