The Great Rebalancing
Written by Jeroen Blokland
How to break free from the extreme policies of governments and central banks that keep a debt-financed system alive.
In a world drowning in debt, invest in scarcity.
Our economy, society, and politics are changing at a relentless pace. So why haven’t our investments changed with them? And why do we keep saving while inflation steadily erodes our purchasing power?
The Great Rebalancing offers a groundbreaking, objective, and illuminating view of how the financial system truly works and how deeply it shapes our everyday lives. A system built entirely on debt forces central banks and governments into ever more extreme policies. This book guides you through a convergence of forces that make one thing unmistakably clear: The virtue of saving must be re-examined, and the way we invest must be fundamentally rethought.

Conviction Required
The Message
Take action now to protect your savings, pension, and investments.
In a world of chronic debt accumulation, unchecked money creation, artificially low interest rates, and persistent inflation, savings and bonds no longer work. The rules of the economic game have changed.
The way forward lies in scarce assets that cannot be endlessly printed or issued: physical gold, bitcoin, and quality stocks. They do more than preserve wealth. They help restore resilience to the system itself.
Once investors, central bankers, and governments finally grasp this, a profound transformation will follow: The Great Rebalancing.

Reviews
Readers about the book
“The best book on unsustainable debt and its consequences for investors. In clear, easy-to-read chapters, Blokland explains why investing in debt instruments has become increasingly dangerous. Drawing on a range of economic theories, combined with engaging anecdotes and insightful charts, the book confirms what many already sensed: government bonds are no longer a safe haven, and investors must look elsewhere.
This book is exceptionally clear and highly engaging, a must-read for anyone interested in economics, politics, and investing.”
“Jeroen’s message is clear: in today’s debt-driven economic system, investment portfolios must be structured radically differently.High debt levels push governments toward ever lower interest rates and higher inflation, rendering the traditional 60/40 portfolio increasingly obsolete. That is why Jeroen introduces The Great Rebalancing, in which gold and bitcoin assume the role traditionally played by bonds.
His case is as comprehensive as it is impressive.”
