Synopsis
Offering a warning of a looming period marked by sizable tax hikes, loss of retirement benefits, double digit inflation, and the possible collapse of the middle class, Schiff presents a survival plan that can provide the protection readers will need in the coming years., The economic tipping point for the United States is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. The country has gone from the world's largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar is sinking; domestic manufacturing is winding down - and these trends don't seem to be slowing. Peter Schiff casts a sharp, clear-sighted eye on these factors and explains what the possible effects may be and how investors can protect themselves. For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but also helped his clients reposition their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt, too-little savings, a declining dollar, and lack of domestic manufacturing. Crash-Proof is an informed and informative warning of a looming period marked by sizeable tax hikes, loss of retirement benefits, double digit inflation, even - as happened recently in Argentina - the possible collapse of the middle class. However, Schiff does have a survival plan that can provide the protection that readers will need in the coming years., Praise for "Crash Proof" "The dot-com implosion proves that we all need Peter Schiff's vision of investing.'His view is so global and so unique in its approach, and at a time when we all should be looking to crash-proof our portfolios, Schiff offers us this much-needed life-raft." --Liz Claman, Cohost, "CNBC Morning Call" "For those accustomed to America's economic dominance, Crash Proof is a frighteningly forthright wake-up call. But Peter Schiff is one Cassandra whose voice deserves your rapt attention. Devoid of the usual Wall Street spin, this frank and prophetic read will make you reconsider the very foundations on which your financial house is built." --Jonathan Hoenig, Portfolio Manager, Capitalistpig Hedge Fund LLC and FOX News Channel analyst "Schiff does an outstanding job of outlining the dangers to individual investors of the current economic environment and presents a plausible plan about how to deal with the risks." --David W. Tice, Portfolio Manager, Prudent Bear Funds "A sober assessment of the financial problems facing our country. Reading this book will prepare you for potential outcomes that Wall Street and the mainstream financial media are completely unaware of." --Bill Fleckenstein, founder and President of Fleckenstein Capital and MSN.com Money columnist, The economic tipping point for the United States is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. The country has gone from the world's largest creditor to its greatest debt∨ the value of the dollar is sinking; domestic manufacturing is winding down - and these trends don't seem to be slowing.

    the crash is coming, are you prepared?

    I heard the author of Crash Proof, Peter Schiff, interviewed on a local talk show about 2 weeks ago. I was floored by what Mr.Schiff was saying. It's not that I didn't believe what he was saying, just that I was shocked to hear a well respected financial guru saying the same things that I already believed. This book spells out in very readable fashion what is really going on, financially speaking, in America today. If you listen to the government, we have a strong economy, fueled by America's shopping addiction. Our own government chooses to ignore several items, I won't go into as I could never tell it like the author of Crash Proof does. After listening to the local talk show host being very respectful to the author during the nearly hour long interview, the host showed at the end ...

    Economics Primer

    I became interested in this topic when the financial "crisis" revealed itself. It is a very good introduction to the subject of the causes and effects of our unwise fiscal policies and banking practices which I found very useful. The author's opinion that the individual's best choice to become "crash proof" is to place much of his savings in foreign currencies due to the imminent collapse of the worth of the US dollar. Events may or may not prove this approach sound but I remain unconvinced. Still it is a good read and enhances understanding for even a layman such as myself.

    Great book for those who want to profit from collapse

    Excellent book! I've done extensive research and have cross checked with other individuals who have years of great track records predicting events such as the recent subprime collapse, dot com bubble, crash of 1987, and many more. These individuals come from the austrian school of economics and have been able to accuratley predict, prepare, and profit from the global economic crisses. You can cross check for your self and do a youtube search on people like, Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente, Jim Rogers, Ron Paul, Marc Faber, etc. Wish you and your family a prosperous financial life. Please take action in a timely manner. It's better safe than sorry!

    An eye-opening, fascinating, educational read.

    Reasonably well written - but really, it's about economics, how good can the writing really be. A great overview of American monetary policy and how that has played out, and will play out over time. Peter Schiff manages to avoid creating a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory, but presents a clear, concise view of the perils of short-sighted decisions that will impact the US for many future generations.

    Very informative

    Mr. Schiff's vision and economic expertise on the unraveling economic problems with the U.S. economy is stellar and portrays sound intellectual economic content. Before purchasing this book I looked at the good and bad reviews from Amazon, watched Mr. Schiff on the TV news and decided to give it a try. It was an eye opener. Mr. Schiff made predictions that have either already come to pass or we are experiencing them now! If you are looking for a refreshing outlook on investing and preserving your capital without the confusing back peddling and propaganda in the main stream media then READ THIS BOOK!!
