Review:Jim Rickards provides another prescient look into the future of our monetary system. The last 30 pages or so are especially helpful as I have read those several times. Excellent job of breaking down the problems of our monetary and fiscal policy, and realistic enough not to try and sell us any false hope. There is no fix. Only steps you can take to prepare for the inevitable collapse. Excellent and enjoyable read. Read more

Review:Akerlof and Shiller are smart guys, OK? Smarter than I am, I'm sure. And I think there is an idea here somewhere. The idea is that Adam Smith is not quite right, We don't make economic decisions in out own best interest but on the basis of emotions and stories we tell ourselves. And further, other people are aware of this and will try to take advantage of us (phish us) accordingly. In other words - Buyer Beware.

OK. I think we knew that. So now what?

But let's get to the spec... Read more
