    "I hope the world this guy describes doesn't exist"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    People who would enjoy this book live in another reality than the rest of us.


    What could Peter Schiff have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Given more realistic analogies to describe his example. My favorite was saying you shouldn't go to college in order to become a successful gardener and open up a business to hire people with MBAs for your accounting.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    This book is disappointing. Hearing about the first recipients of social security checks as examples for why overall the entire system is a ponzi scheme was pathetic. Also hearing the FDA should be disbanded because companies will make everything great and perfectly safe is unrealistic.


    Any additional comments?

    While this guy might be right about the upcoming crash, his pathetic examples and reasoning make me feel bad for humanity.

    "Everyone should read this book!"

    A book covering such breadth and depth of complex issues in our society and economy, yet laid out with clarity & simplicity. Presidents, Prime Ministers and Central Bankers should read and learn these important lessons. But, it is too late??

    "Peter Schiff is great. "

    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.

    "Schiff details how self-interested politicians are bankrupting America!"

    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.

    "He's been correct, continues to be, and will be."

    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.

    "On-point"

    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.
