Want a Free Copy of My New Book?
100 free digital copies of The Price of a Quiet Yen for Lead-Lag Report readers. No review required.
A few weeks ago I published The Price of a Quiet Yen: Japan's Economic History, the Carry Trade, and the Anatomy of Global Reversals. Now I want to put it in the hands of readers who will actually read it.
So for the next two weeks I am giving away 100 free digital copies to Lead-Lag Report readers.
How to get your copy
Email michaelgayed@leadlagmedia.com with the subject line Quiet Yen review copy. You will get a link to the Kindle-compatible EPUB and a PDF, usually within a day. The first 100 requests get a copy.
What I am asking, and what I am not
Nothing is required. You do not have to write a review to get the book, and the copy is yours either way.
If you finish it and want to, an honest review on Amazon helps other readers decide whether the book is for them. Honest means honest. If parts of it did not work for you, say so. A thoughtful critical review is more useful to the next reader than a short positive one.
What you would be reading
The book follows Japan's economic history from the 1970s through September 2026 and then works through the yen carry trade: how it is built, why it unwinds, and why the reversals of 1998, 2008, 2011 and 2024 were financing stories more than asset stories. The asset being held was rarely the problem. The funding behind it was.
It runs 402 pages, with 32 chapters and 30 figures, and closes with five questions to ask before trusting any trade.
