Customer Reviews
New and improved
I read the first edition in early 2006, and it’s a little breathtaking how many of its big-picture prognostications have come to pass — especially the collapse of the housing market and the dramatically shrinking purchasing power of the bills in our wallets. Now, as the dollar tanks to record lows relative to other currencies, and we’re reaping the whirlwind of endless money and credit creation by the Federal Reserve, this new (and considerably updated) edition examines where we go from here.
If anything, the historical examples cited ring even more true with the passage of the last two years. And while the outlook going forward is bleak, it is absolutely not hopeless. For anyone who suspects this might be another “goldbug” head-for-the-hills sort of book, rest assured it’s not. It concludes with a host of sensible suggestions that, yes, include gold, but also a number of other hedges against a falling dollar that are worth considering as your cash buys less and less every day.
