Summary: 5 Stars
If you understand the fiscal situation this country is in, the place the elected & non-elected officials wanna take it, and what will happen after that has taken place, this book is dead on.
Monetary policy in this country(USA) has been flawed since the inception of the federal reserve system in 1913. The Monetarist economists(Widely known as Anna J Schwartz & Milton Friedman) blame the fed's lack of action as the cause of the great depression. They believe if the fed had intervened and created a little more inflation at the time the deflation was occuring(aka Deflationary Depression), the Great depression would have lasted only 1-5 years. Ben Bernanke (current FED Chairperson) believes this theory, that's why he's currently inflating that debt away through bail-outs.
On the other hand, Hard money Economists (aka Ludwig von Mises' Austrian school of economics) blames the fed completely for the Great Depression. Since their inception in 1913 the fed has fueled massive credit bubbles and the roaring 20's were no different. From 1913-1919 the fed increased the money supply by around 50% leading to the credit induced boom known as the roaring 1920's. When they finally called in all the inflationary credit they had put out, it killed the economy. Instead of letting the money stay out, they kept deflating the bubble which fueled the longest economic downturn in US history.
Today our economists and financial leaders will make sure not to repeat that mistake again. The system will not be allowed to go broke, almost everyone will get a huge bailout, and when they do, the countries who hold our short term US debt will begin dumping it, due to its losing value thanks to the bailouts.
If you believe the dollar is gonna take a hit over the next 5-10 years, then dedicating some of your portfolio (10-25%) to precious metals and watching what happens is going to be very exciting. If you paid attention to the 60s & 70s, you would notice some odd but scary similarities, huge needless wars followed by inflationary downturns in the economy. The 1970's bad economy was the price for the 1960's vietnam war. Remember, Nixon took us off the Gold Standard in 1971 when gold was only $35 an Ounce(today its ~$900). During the 70s the DOW Jones only gained 10 points but gold jumped almost 24 times, silver more. This time its gonna be a lot worse. I think physical silver is the best deal, as long as you can find some quality physical without a high retail purchase fee.
James turk is a pro and this book ranks high on the list of profit from the coming gloom & doom books. If you want to implement a section of your portfolio into precious metals this book is a great way to learn some very helpful tactics. He writes about what types of Precious Metals investments you can buy: Physcical(keep@home&vault), Paper(futures/options), Mining stocks, Numismatic, but doesn't really mention his world-renowned service called GOLDMONEY.com located in British Jersey,UK. I personally have an account with GoldMoney.com and I feel its a one of a kind service. It keeps part of your wealth outside the US, which is very important. My say is Pick up the book and Partake in the Precious Metals bull market that will last for the next 5-10 years minimum, and create some wealth during the bad times we're gonna go through :)
I also recommend the book CRASHPROOF by Peter Schiff (he recommends GoldMoney.com)
