"A fast-paced and apocalyptic look at the financial future, taking in financiers' greed, central banks' incompetence and impending Armageddon for the dollar...Rickards may be right that 'the system is going wobbly.'" - The Financial Times "A terrifically interesting and useful book . . . fascinating." - KENNETH W. DAM  former deputy secretary of the Treasury and adviser to three presidents " The Death of Money contains very big, provocative ideas clearly explained and delivered in an evenhanded tone that steers away from the sensational proclamation yet successfully undercuts conventional market wisdom.

Synopsis
"The next financial collapse will resemble nothing in history. . . . Deciding upon the best course to follow will require comprehending a minefield of risks, while poised at a crossroads, pondering the death of the dollar." The international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: war, civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of the global economy. Now James Rickards, the acclaimed author of Currency Wars, shows why another collapse is rapidly approaching--and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk. The American dollar has been the global reserve currency since the end of the Second World War. If the dollar fails, the entire international monetary system will fail with it. No other currency has the deep, liquid pools of assets needed to do the job. Optimists have always said, in essence, that there's nothing to worry about--that confidence in the dollar will never truly be shaken, no matter how high our national debt or how dysfunctional our government. But in the last few years, the risks have become too big to ignore. While Washington is gridlocked and unable to make progress on our long-term problems, our biggest economic competitors--China, Russia, and the oilproducing nations of the Middle East--are doing everything possible to end U.S. monetary hegemony. The potential results: Financial warfare. Deflation. Hyperinflation. Market collapse. Chaos. Rickards offers a bracing analysis of these and other threats to the dollar. The fundamental problem is that money and wealth have become more and more detached. Money is transitory and ephemeral, and it may soon be worthless if central bankers and politicians continue on their current path. But true wealth is permanent and tangible, and it has real value worldwide. The author shows how everyday citizens who save and invest have become guinea pigs in the central bankers' laboratory. The world's major financial players--national governments, big banks, multilateral institutions--will always muddle through by patching together new rules of the game. The real victims of the next crisis will be small investors who assumed that what worked for decades will keep working. Fortunately, it's not too late to prepare for the coming death of money. Rickards explains the power of converting unreliable money into real wealth: gold, land, fine art, and other long-term stores of value. As he writes: "The coming collapse of the dollar and the international monetary system is entirely foreseeable. . . . Only nations and individuals who make provision today will survive the maelstrom to come."

    Must Read Book

    This book is very informative and full of essential analysis of the global financial reality one doesn't hear about in the mainstream media. Rickards is very honest and gives lots of details about how the real financial world really works. Knowledge is power. If you don't know how the financial world is used to destroy your wealth, then you are a willfully ignorant victim.

    Great Book and decent sized text.

    This book I could actually read without a magnifying glass unlike another book I bought in the past. Being a hard copy I also got to pass the book on to another fine person who is not computer literate. PDF copies on the net are free but it is much easier to read a book - sorry all you young punk kids that don't know the benefits of real books.

    He makes every reliable word count

    When Jim Rickards has something to say, I listen well. He's a walking and talking encyclopedia on economics. He does the research and always references reliable sources. Everything I've heard him say has so far come true. He's the go-to-guy when I need to know the current, historic, and outlook for world economics, specifically the United States. Brilliant man!
