Dear Readers,

Has your head stopped spinning yet? If you’re like me, it feels like the world doesn’t know if its standing on its head or its feet on a daily basis.

One day, the experts say the market is fine. The next day, things look grim. We see global trade wars and rising tensions everywhere. Your food and energy costs keep going up. You feel like you are falling behind, and there is no way to catch up.

And when it comes to your investments, is it a green light or red light?

A certain US president I’m sure isn’t doing much to help the markets in this regard either. Take a look.

What a mess right!

Mainstream economic books say this should not happen. They’ll tell you the market is always stable. They claim there are no cycles and no job losses and money are just a simple tool that does not change the core of the economy. But you know better. You see the world as it is. You are seeing now that reality often breaks the rules the experts made up.

In his new book, Realonomics: How the Economy Really Works and How We Can Fix It, Karim El-Ayoubi explains why the system is broken. This book is a loud wake-up call. It is for anyone who wants to know how wealth is really built and lost. For those of us in the property and share markets, this is the book we have needed for years.

Karim El-Ayoubi is not just a dreamer. He is a man who was on the inside. After graduating from Oxford University, he went on to the front lines of global finance. He spent years at JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Chase Manhattan. It was there, in the belly of the beast, that he realised the math didn’t add up.

The theories he learned at school did not match the real world.

He saw that the “standard diet” of theory was full of blind spots and errors. His faith in old-school economics broke. He knew he had to find the truth. Realonomics is the result of that long search.

A System That Reverts to the Past

I have no doubt you’ll experience the same “a-ha” moment that Karim did once you read the chapters about our banking system. El-Ayoubi argues that the way we run banks today is wrong. Instead of helping the economy, the system often exploits it. This creates a cycle of boom and bust that never ends.

Ironically, the reason why the Property Sharemarket Economics business exists!

As a result, we see huge gaps between the rich and the poor. In fact, El-Ayoubi says these gaps are starting to look like feudal times. In a rational world, if a theory fails, you throw it out.

But the experts have done the opposite. They’ve kept the theory and ignored the real world. This has led to the global stress we feel today. You saw it and possibly lived through it in the 2008-09 crisis. That crash proved that banks can, and do, break the entire system.

The good news is that we can change this. Realonomics shows that a better path exists. We do not have to guess what works. We can look at history. El-Ayoubi points to the “economic miracles” of the past.

His book details the examples of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore as true growth led powerhouses. He examines the past industrial power of Germany and America. He also looks at how China rose so fast after 1979. These countries did not follow the broken rules of modern theory. They used smart, real-world policies to get results.

If we learn from these success stories, the future can be bright. The book offers simple, yet bold, reforms. These changes could lead to a fairer and more stable world for everyone.

This book is a must-read if you want to understand today’s market. Ken Mayhew, a professor at Oxford, calls it a provocative and well-written book. He says it is easy to read but offers very bold ideas.

For the property-minded investor, this is a critical realisation. We are living through a period where destructive business cycles are treated as “unforeseen” anomalies or black swan events rather than the predictable outcomes of a flawed system.

As Akhil Patel, author of The Secret Wealth Advantage, notes in his review, El-Ayoubi provides a robust critique of foundational concepts such as interest rates, inflation, and money creation. If you want to understand why land values and property markets behave the way they do, you must understand the “Realonomics” behind them.

We are at a turning point. We can keep following the same old path. Or we can choose “Realonomics.” It is time to look at how the world really works. Do not get left behind when the end of the cycle hits.
