The Real Crash: America's Coming Bankruptcy---How to Save Yourself and Your Country by Peter Schiff
Schiff providing us with simple common sense solutions based on sound economics. The solutions are indeed nasty but the alternative is frightening to imagine. Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt tells us that Politicians will always think short-term whilst wearing blinkers to the big picture so we can conclude that Schiff's advice will be ignored.
This book gives some brief background as to how the U.S. got into this financial mess (for much more historic detail check out Crash Proof by Schiff), but most importantly, Schiff hits on all of the major financial issues that exist in our country today, and he offers the simplistic suggestions for reform to fix our path. From education to health care, Schiff writes in his easy to understand, and analogy-packed style, about how we can alter this destructive path we are on. In his usual honesty, Schiff admits there is no win win here, but we can certainly guide ourselves towards a softer landing with a quicker, healthier recovery.
For those of you who are looking for interesting material that you will not learn in any school, college or on almost any other outlet, please purchase this book. Schiff makes so much sense it is astounding.
