The party of the century ended with a bill that no one could pay. The 1920s were a time of jazz, gin, and endless optimism.

There is no single theory of what caused the Great Depression and never will be, Morris argues. Macreconomics is a social science, and such a massive event always takes its shape from a terrible confluence of factors. The mismanagement of the gold standard, the growth in consumer credit, the insistence on deflation, and the inability of the major European belligerents of World War I to agree on a reconstruction agenda are just a few of the shocks that pushed the world into an economic Armageddon.

Facts are presented that indicate serious problems are present in the U.S. financial system that directly affect the welfare of the U.S. and other countries of the world. The author believes that there is great danger of an economic collapse in the years to come unless serious action is taken to correct the ever increasing U.S. National Debt and budget deficits. Actions are described that people can take to prepare for an economic collapse.

For a while, it seemed impossible to lose money on real estate. But then the bubble burst. The financial sector was paralyzed and the economy contracted. State and federal governments struggled to pay their domestic and foreign creditors. Washington was incapable of decisive action. The country seethed with political and social unrest. In America's First Great Depression, Alasdair Roberts describes how the United States dealt with the economic and political crisis that followed the Panic of 1837.

Financial crises happen time and again in post-industrial economies - and they are extraordinarily damaging. Building on insights gleaned from many years of work in the banking industry and drawing on a vast trove of data, Richard Vague argues that such crises follow a pattern that makes them both predictable and avoidable. A Brief History of Doom examines a series of major crises over the past 200 years in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and China - including the Great Depression and the economic meltdown of 2008.

The Panic of 1819 tells the story of the first nationwide economic collapse to strike the United States. Much more than a banking crisis or real estate bubble, the Panic was the culmination of an economic wave that rolled through the United States, forming before the War of 1812, cresting with the land and cotton boom of 1818, and crashing just as the nation confronted the crisis over slavery in Missouri.

Yes, we have been conned! Over 100 years ago, very clever and dishonest European bankers foisted the Federal Reserve banking system on America. Since that time, they have robbed us of trillions of dollars, engaged us in unnecessary wars so that they could make extra profits, killed or maimed a generation of Americans in wars every twenty years or so, and robbed many of us of the American dream. Our book explains it all. "You must understand the problem before you can solve it" We have all heard this before. Now, this really makes sense when you realize that this is how we have been conned; ...

It started out so simple: The goal was to make as much money as possible selling cocaine over the course of six months. I started with just a $2000 investment and zero prospective buyers. Thwarting unwanted attention from either side of the law was my main concern as I hustled to see how high I could push my profit margin. But trouble has an uncanny knack for catching us wrong-footed. Word soon broke out of the new kid in town with unlimited supply of highly pure cocaine, and it just snowballed from there. The explosive power of networking became both my best friend and worst enemy. ...
