Overview

Have You Noticed The Economic Bubbles Yet?

  • Real estate is overpriced and beginning to fall
  • The Dollar is on the decline
  • Consumer Debt is at an all-time high
  • Our International Trade Deficit is massive
  • Our National Debt is now more than $8 trillion total and growing at an astronomical $7 billion per week

While most people ignore the warning signs, those who move quickly and correctly can position themselves now to cover assets and profit from what will be the biggest economic challenge—and wealth-building opportunity—of our times.

"A sobering financial wakeup call for all Americans."
—C. Thomas McMillen, Rhodes Scholar and former three-term U.S. congressman

"Whether you think it goes too far or hits a bull's eye, America's Bubble Economy presents a riveting argument for what may be coming and how to make the most of it."
—Philip J. Gross, former CFO, America Online

"Sound advice in these times, America's Bubble Economy delivers what we need to hear. Its prognosis may be harsh, but these insights are astute, logical, and compelling."
—Dr. Rodney Stevenson, Professor of Economics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, past president of the Association for Evolutionary Economics

"Finally, a way to profit from the government's reckless spending habits!"
—Jim Goldinger, Managing Director, TD Capital Ventures

"More roadmap than crystal ball, this book doesn't simply advise a reader what's coming; it tells a reader exactly how to plan and respond. That it manages to predict an awfully troubling near future while still managing to be readable and even funny in spots is no mean feat."
—Ken Kurson, co-author with Rudy Giuliani of the No. 1 bestseller Leadership, and financial columnist at Esquire

    A beginner¿s book about bubbles

    This simple book with a catchy title explains how the U.S. became susceptible to a variety of rapidly popping financial bubbles that will all have unhappy endings. David Wiedemer, Robert A. Wiedemer, Cindy Spitzer and Eric Janszen have made their book easy to read, and it certainly describes the current forces at work on Wall Street. Yet, like other predictive books, it goes into more speculative detail than needed in the first section, which considers what factors could trigger a multistage bubble collapse. Readers may find the details in the book¿s second half more useful. It explains the investment vehicles that the authors believe could provide some upside protection when the bubbles burst. getAbstract recommends this intriguing, start-up introduction as an accessible first course on market survival, though it seems to need more extensive source citations. Such notes would have made this even more authoritative.

    Clear sound advice WITH a humoristic side!

    It's all about the right time, the right place. But that in itself won't help. Like all successes in life, it is about individuals taking action now to protect assets plus being part of the biggest wealth building boom of our time! It certainly is a wake-up call!

    Very Thought Provoking

    This book was very easy to read and understand. The use of statistics, graphs and figures to back up claims and add visual interest makes the information understandable. This book is visionary and we plan to put to use the information we gained by reading it. I am Democrat, husband a Republican and we both really enjoyed reading and discussing this book.

    Recommended Only for the Uninformed

    This book does provide some good information for those who do not know about the bubble economy we are in. But if you have any knowledge of it, this book comes up short because it does not provide the detail needed to truly understand both the short and long term problems for America. So for the less informed I would recommend it but not for those who have an idea what is going on. My rating is therefore 3.5. If you are not that informed, this book might be a good starter book to read before reading 'America's Financial Apocalypse' which is way more detailed and covers the short and longer term and gives excellent investment strategies. If you read both books like I have you will understand what I mean.
