Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' predicts a potential global financial shock in 2026, citing shaky economic foundations, particularly in China. He believes a single triggering event, similar to historical catalysts, could expose underlying market weaknesses. Kiyosaki's recurring theme is that crises create both significant losses for many and opportunities for prepared investors, emphasizing the role of debt and geopolitical stress in amplifying shocks.
