Dubai: A leading economic strategist pointing to another collapse of the international monetary system will reveal to global financial experts in Dubai next month how new “rules of the game” will be written to prevent disaster.

James Rickards, the American lawyer, economist, investment banker and best-selling author, says investors should not be surprised if another collapse happens soon, following previous breakdowns of the system in 1914, 1939 and 1971.

“When the system collapses, it is not the end of the world,” says Rickards, one of the speakers at the ICA Conference taking place in Dubai from 6-9 November. “It simply means that the major trading and financial powers in the world come together in a conference to write new rules of the game.”

Rickards, author of The New York Times bestseller Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis, and The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System, joins a line-up of world renowned economists and financial experts appearing at the ICA Conference, taking place at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, Dubai.
