 Good analysis--exaggerated conclusions September 6, 2010
J. Santoro (Brooksville FL)
This books provides a compeling analysis of America's massive and ever growing debt ($13.4 trillion as of now)and the consequences that would follow if the US defaults on this debt. Many see this problem on the horizon and the authors maintain that by 2013 at the latest America will be in default, GDP will drop by 50% and total unemployment could be as high as 60%. Mind boggling numbers! Of course, none of us want to believe that this could happen--a point the authors make many times throughout their book. I think that the US will do everyhting it can to prevent default. If that means printing money at light speed so be it. Devalue the dollar as slowly as they can (and as they have been doing) so be it but default I don't think so. The years ahead will be more difficult than most of us want to believe but probably not as desparate and horrific as the authors portray. The fact that they seek to profit from their predictions (by pushing investment advisory services) undermines their conclusions. Our debt is a sleeping dragon that will awaken soon but the US and the world will do all it can to prevent the worst. That's all any of us can hope for, but buy gold just in case.
 Very repetitive, but compelling nonetheless August 31, 2010

While this book could have made its points in about 1/3rd of the space, it was well worth reading. Its discussion of the roots of our current economic problems and past, present and future bubbles are both simple and clearly argued. This book is scary, but provides realistic analysis and reasonable tips on how to protect yourself.
A total believer after 40 years in finance August 22, 2010

This book is a must read. It confirmed what my gut feelings have been telling me for some time from my 40 years of experience in the financial services area. I also believed a crash was coming for housing and stocks in 2006 and took conservative positions and made a lot by not losing any principal along the way. These authors make it very clear for rational and logical thinkers (even non financial folk) why we cannot expect government to save us and why we must choose to protect what we have and prepare to help those close to us survive in the coming times. I have recommended this book to every one in our family and hope they will listen so my wife and I do not have to save them one day. I look forward to the day when self responsibility once again reigns and people stop believing the "cheerleaders" as they call them in the book who giving out optimistic, but wrong information.
Read the book, and then either change your ways and prepare or go forth blindly believing some great thing will come from our government to save us, just like all the other things they have done and managed so well.
Staying informed about financial affairs August 21, 2010

This cook contains valuable information about financial affairs, even though some of it was over my head. However, I did understand enough that I learned some valuable things concerning financial problems in this country. I recommend it highly.
 Authors don't know the difference betweeen inflation and deflation. August 21, 2010

The authors say that we are headed for runaway inflation when in fact we are experiencing deflation!
