"Headline"
This book should just be called "I'm Peter and I'm smarter than you, just believe me"
"I hope the world this guy describes doesn't exist"
People who would enjoy this book live in another reality than the rest of us.
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.
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.
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.
"Should be compulsory reading"
Comprehensive analysis of the state of affairs that the American electorate and their politicians should discuss.
"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.
"Very good book"
Really good information about our current government and the financial world. Read enjoyed the book.
"Excellent book by Peter Schiff!"
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!
"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.
