I re-read this book recently and have to say it has stood the test of time. Many of its forecasts are becoming reality, given the growing uncertainty in the US and beyond. All in all a very readable and informative book.
This book does an excellent job putting over the huge changes engulfing the world and why. It goes on to offer understandable practical advice how to make the best of a fairly doomsday scenario, now largely looking all to true. I bought it because it is referred to by the authors in their REALLY OUTSTANDING book entitled The Top Ten Investments for the Next 10 years, which they wrote 2 years later in 2007. This book really made me sit up and take notice. As a result of reading this one we sold our house 6 months later and not a moment too soon. Their scary predictions about housing bubbles in the western economies and a collapsing banking system have turned out to be all to accurate. My family has a lot to thank them for.
I found this book an absolutely invaluable guide for surviving economic troubles. This book really allayed my money fears, I now feel calm, confident and, if I'm honest, slightly smug - when it all hits the fan I will be prepared and rich! This book taught me so much about economic forecasting and the historical examples were a great way of highlighting the trends that spell disaster. If you want to survive and prosper, and lets face it who doesn't.....get this book!!
