The author, Peter Schiff, who predicted the housing market crash of 2008 and profited from it, is now is pointing to the dollar and government bubble we are in. This could be a tremendous crash that we will see in our lifetime.

It is good to be prepared.

Comprehensive analysis of the state of affairs that the American electorate and their politicians should discuss.

An eye opening read. Peter Schiff, who accurately predicted the housing collapse and its root causes two years before it happened breaks down down the economy like no other, explaining how self-interested politicians in both parties are legislating and regulating the U.S. economy into another financial crisis that will dwarf the housing collapse of 2008.

Really good information about our current government and the financial world. Read enjoyed the book.

The majority of this book is a libertarian rant about the evils of big governement not about the financial crisis and how to protect yourself. The author espouses things like eliminating unemployment insurance, the FDA and all regulation imposed on businesses. The premise is that free market forces will protect individuals from greedy corporations and therefore there is no need to regulate the; people should self insure against unemployment, citizen are responsible enough to save for retirement so social security is not needed and pharmaceutical companies would never put a dangerous drug on the market.

If you are interested in learning about the political philosophy it is worth it. But there are better book that explain the debt crisis and how to protect yourself.

Peter has a knack for explaining difficult concepts with ease. I read a lot of books and this one just landed in my top 10. Highly recommended!

The information is dead on correct. Nothing is 100%, but I would bet he will be correct. I just don't get how we let these central banks control the money. and to think the central banks to our face tell us inflation is good. a loss of purchasing power is not good for my family. Even now I listen to his free podcast, for the last 10 months and he has been correct about the fed. Hey Federal Reserve Bank if the economy is so great what happened to all those rate hikes? They should hire Mr. Schiff cause he apparently knows what they are going to do more than they do.

This book successfully points out much of what has been done in the last 100 years to lead us past what is likely the point of no return, suggesting many ways to help and even curb the devastation, while discussing how things will be likely to go down in best and worst case scenarios. Great informative read.

Looking forward to the updated version. Excellent! I am also interested in other titles mentioned in this book. Thank you for your insight.

I would not.

The genre is good just not this book.

Echo chamber book if I ever read one. Capitalism is part of the key but not everything. Look at countries with little to no taxes or regulation. Jamaica has little to no tax laws or regulations and is very nice to vacation too but few would look there for quality jobs.
