"didn't finish it. I thought this would be an interesting read, since this guy called the recession at least a year before the pundits admitted it, but his basic premise here is that we are running out of all natural resources and the world is going to end. He suggests that we buy gold because it will be the only currency that doesn't fail when things get really bad. In all honesty, I am not sure that he isn't right, but its sort of depressing to think about, and I can't really save the world economy myself so I put it down."
"It is time to get our heads out of the Canadian Tar Sands and read this book to promote discussion and cooperation. "Even today, Americans still cling by and large to the optimism born in the postwar period. Yet, while we bask in a false sense of security, the rug is being pulled out from under us." I read this book at a slow pace, a chapter a day, to give myself time to truly hear the challenges to seven comforting but false assumptions. "These assumptions are: 1. The world contains virtually limitless oil and mineral deposits. If the supply gets tight, we can always find more. 2. Governments and central banks know how to keep inflation under control. 3. Economic growth, perhaps with some occasional small interruptions, is on a perpetual upward track that will bring greater prosperity to all the world's inhabitants. 4. America's wealth is based on enduring advantages--including free enterprise and Yankee ingenuity--that will ensure we will always have the top spot in the global pecking order. 5. The national debt is no problem because economic growth will be so strong that we can pay it off...someday. 6. Technology can solve all our long-term problems. It's just a matter of putting more money into research. 7. Meanwhile, we can easily cope with any short-term emergencies. If we need new infrastructure, we'll build it. When it becomes urgent to switch to alternative energies, we'll turn our attention to it and get the job done. Ditto for reversing the trade deficit, funding government entitlement programs, or anything else. Therefore, too much planning ahead isn't necessary.""
"Lots of gloom and doom here! The author claims that we are running out of commodities, which will make the US dollar fall in relation to currencies of resource rich countries. He claims there isn't even enough iron in the world to build all the wind turbines we would need to switch to alternative energy! Switching our cars to natural gas wouldn't work either as he says natural gas fields tend to get depleted rapidly. We are basking in a false sense of security, while the rug is being pulled out from under us. He claims inflation will rise to between 30 and 40 per cent!
"The single most essential asset to invest in for the next decade is gold." He even advertises his website, so you can keep up with changes....
An interesting take on the subject. I don't think things are quite as bad as he portrays here, at least, I hope not!"
