Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I felt it was poorly written.
I purchased this book to hear various points of view on the US and global economy. Having chapters 1 through 4, I skipped to the final chapter 8 where the author finally presents his recommended course of action.
Overall, however, I felt the book was poorly written. It is filled with repetitive and alarmist language, somewhat like you may expect to see on a newscast. I also felt it was insufficiently backed up with references and hard numbers. Much of the text would not be accepted ... Read More
Rating:  - Educate yourself...
A quick yet informative read. The book is really a collection of semi-organized essays.

I was in the market for what to do about it. The other information I can easily find on Austrian School websites.
Rating:  - Clear & Engaging

This book is exactly what I wanted. Some reviews complain the book is too deep or not deep enough. That it has too much or too little investment advice. I'd say it's just right. The points are well-substantiated, but not boring, and the investment advice is both broad enough to offer options and targeted enough to be immediately useful.
I found out about it through his free email newsletter, ... Read More
Rating: - Demise of the Dollar by Addison Wiggin
OUTSTANDING! If more people would read this book they would see the demise of not only of the dollar and the US Empire, but of Western Civilization no longer in control of the world economy. With a little bit of thought and understanding of the book one can see the future shift from the West to the East. India and China have been sleeping giants for a long time. Now that they have shed their cloaks of Socialism and Communism and taken up the Free Market System and the Western Civilization has switch ... Read More
