I was stuck in the Tampa airport for about 3 hours a couple Saturdays ago and has another 5 hours or so in transit so I bought a new book to pass the time (haven't bought a new hard copy book for while, bit of a sticker shock!!). Anyway, the book was called
The Death on Money by a guy named James Rickards. He's been around a while:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_G._RickardsVery interesting read. Because I'm not in the position to get the assets that he claims are more sheltered from the paper money/financial earthquake he says is coming (land, gold, fine art, natural resource based mutual funds/hedge funds) except the last one maybe (being the employee of the federal agency that I work for, I can't own any mutual funds that are over 50% value in gold--I might have some sort of insider knowledge [which I don't]). So, I guess I'll be along for the ride, but at least I'll know where its coming from...
Here are a few book reviews of
The Death on Money:
