Publisher's summary

We are at a crossroads of immense proportions. Nationally, internationally, and globally, we areliving in a manner that is absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably unsustainable. Our global economic stability is in jeopardy, our planet’s ecosystems are under attack, and our health is deteriorating. Huge changes are coming whether or not we want them, whether or not we are ready for them. How can we lead the charge to introduce innovations and solutions to meet the inevitable challenges of new kinds of economic forces? Damon Vickers believes that by anticipating social trends and detecting potentially profitable areas for investing, we might still be able to profit while supporting a sustainable future.

In The Day After the Dollar Crashes, Vickers presents a possible time line for the crash of the U.S. dollar and the subsequent collapse of global markets. He outlines the New World Order that may take shape over the next decade and the impact it could have on nations, businesses, and individuals. Perhaps more importantly, he tells how investors can weather the coming economic collapse and position themselves for the coming global transformation. By changing our expectations and taking action to get in alignment with reality, Vickers shows, we can steadily profit in our investments. He suggests both globally sustainable and socially responsible types of investments, including investing in currencies of countries that are backed by real assets like resources and technologies that expand our sustainable energy and food sources.The time for denial and waiting for someone else to fix everything is over. It is up to us, each and every one of us, to wake up and start to make more responsible choices as we enter a New World Order. This audio book will show us how.

Utopian Liberal dreams

Some valid points, but definitely has communistic and agnostic tones. Also seems hypocritical in condemning fossil fuels while flying and driving 40 miles to an office. Very content to tell everyone else what they should be doing, like your garden variety liberal.

Informative lecture series

It is very informative, but I wouldn't call this a book. It is all over the place from monetary policy, to the environment to the world government to how you should talk to your doctor to how to invest your money.
Pros: Informative. Non partisan approach to politics
Cons: Scattered. At the end, he throws a pitch about his investment group. That was a bit disappointing to me.

Big ECO Guy

What did you like best about The Day After the Dollar Crashes? What did you like least?

The very small section on what to prep for.

Would you recommend The Day After the Dollar Crashes to your friends? Why or why not?

Nope - not enough on how to play the coming issues. But I guess that is why he plugs his business so you can go there for the info. Smart though.

What three words best describe Sean Pratt’s performance?

Very Listenable Performer

Was The Day After the Dollar Crashes worth the listening time?

Yeah if you want a heavy dose of tree hugging

Any additional comments?

No its pretty straight forward in that we need to get our ECO act together, which I can get behind, but I am just not all that Ra Ra about it.

So So..

There is a significant amount of information here and it is worth the read, however you really need to listen carefully. Vickers is very informative as to how we got to where we are. His solution, a Central Government, is unacceptable.

Not the book for investments

If you're looking for a book that will give you investment tactics for to hedge against the dollar...don't get this book. It rants about a whole bunch of nothingness that has nothing to do with the title...surviving.

Decent

Decent book for someone new to this subject. I am aware of most of the info provided, There are hundreds of books out there with most of this info in it.

The word is simplified and lost.

The book starts with as the title states, but then he drives the argument to a eco warrior stance. I do not know how he saves the dollar or the country by primarily an enviromental direction.
I mean to say in the book he states how China holds a lot of our debt and that is due to its productive base. Then in the same book he states to get away from any item that may hurt the enviroment. He then starts to speak about flash mobs and i dont even know what.
Mr. Vickers states he loves the USA, but also loves the New World Order. I am not sure how you unite those ideals, but he surely tries. He speaks of individual rights, but then speaks of collective mentalities.
I would have wished he would have either stayed on topic or would have wrote two books. One a purely economic look at the dollar and what would happen if it crashes. The second book could be for the person who wants to live on nuts and berries with your favorite cartoon animal.
Mr vickers rambles on about his Enviromental and moral beliefs instead of using the readers time as they wanted it used, in learning about the dollar and the possible dangers that the dollar may face in the future.

WTF

The title is quite misleading. I was looking for practical advice for an everyday person to be prepared for the days, weeks, months after an economic collapse. He briefly mentions stuff I already knew. It's in chapter 6 if you want to just listen to that. The other 9 chapters are a bunch of ramblings about how we need to stop being jerks to one another and just go ahead and welcome in this new world order stuff instead of fighting against it. I listened to 90% of the book. I tried to get some meat out of it so I listened intently, but then lost most of my respect for the author when he started talking about how we need to be ready to accept the one new world leader that will rise up and take charge because he will only be doing it out of selfless love for all of mankind. Right.
I'm open minded about new age concepts but his opinions were a little over the top for me. If you're not a hardcore new ager, you'll definitely hate this book.

Not a hit with me

I thought the evidence in this book wasn't well supported. There wasn't enough support material for the enviromental impact theories. I kept waiting for the evidence of his theories but he just kept stating the same things over and over and I stopped listening after 3 hours and never finished.

Unsubstatiated Propaganda

This is the same tired liberal propaganda with an act of balanced point of view.
There are so many wild unsubstatiated claims within the first half of the book, it became intolerable. Revisionist History 101...
