Reviewer comment -
A case study in how an author can be so right about the past and present
economic situation and yet so wrong when making predictions about even the near
future. The book was published in 2005. The author described the recent
financial history and did predict trouble. But then totally missed the collapse
of both crude oil and gold prices. His recommendations in the last chapter
about what investments to purchase were very wrong.
