Summary: Thank goodness I ignored this book!
Review: When I first read this book, I was very concenrened about the negative implications for the USA economy and stock market for the 90's. I considered selling all of my stocks when someone pointed out to me that these sorts of doom and gloom books show up at used book sales and stores on a regular basis. So I went to a couple of used book sales and stores and discovered this was right -- failed doom and gloom books have been published on a regular basis! Now this book will join the junk heap of history with its failed gloom and doom projections. For some, this book may be a fun read on how authors can appear erudite with their presentations of facts and research and still form non-sensical conclusions. Others, who themselves believe the sky is falling and we are doomed, may find comfort in this book as they will have company in their paranoid theories.

Summary: Maybe timely now to read
Review: Who would have expected that the Internet and Telecom bubbles would delay the 'great reckoning?' If this book is correct, we have only a short time to get our financial houses in order. This is a long read and yet a good one. This is for those who wish to conserve and preserve what they have. Recommendations not to eat in certain restaurants and the like....interesting in light of the food poisonings of late. Our national and international money woes. Economists, historians, business professional and the clergy would benefit from this book. The recommendations were too soon, so they sounded a little early and the 'cry wolf' scenario seems to creep in. Well, look at where we are today. We can rebound, if it is the right time.
