Empire of Debt: The Rise Of An Epic Financial Crisis 
In no-nonsense prose, Empire of Debt confronts critical concerns
about the position of the United States as the world's leading economy and
great military might. For many years, the United States has been the country from which others sought advice, money, and a high return on investment. At the same time, Uncle Sam has descended from being the world's largest creditor to its greatest debtor.Why the paradox? The authors argue there will be a dramatic change in the economic power of the United States in the coming years that will inevitably impact every American. Understanding this is critical for everyone, from lawmakers and corporate leaders to investors seeking safe places to invest retirement funds. Despite the serious topic, the authors' irreverent style entertains as they find humor in a precarious financial situation. Order  |  Find Out More

Financial Reckoning Day
"History shows that people who save and invest grow and prosper, and the others deteriorate and collapse. As Financial Reckoning Day demonstrates, artificially low interest rates and rapid credit creation policies set by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve caused the bubble in U.S. stocks of the late '90s. . . . Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market bubble to a consumption and housing bubble. And when those bubbles burst, it's going to be worse than the stock market bubble." -- Jim Rogers, author of the bestseller Adventure Capitalist. Order  |  Find Out More

The Demise of the Dollar
"Our long history of economic power and wealth is being eroded from within," writes Addison Wiggin, and the result will be reduced foreign investment, slow foreign demand for U.S. goods, and unfavorable currency exchange rates. A heavy debt burden, the trade deficit, and structural imbalances have created an unstable dollar bubble, and according to Wiggin, it's not a matter of if the bubble will burst, but when. That's the bad news. The good news is that hidden investment opportunities are waiting behind the weakening dollar. In The Demise of the Dollar... and Why It's Great for Your Investments Wiggin offers advice to readers looking to capitalize on this reality; specifically, he encourages investing in precious metals, tangible resources, and some select foreign markets.

The Idea of America
Why do we love "America" so much? What has drawn millions of
immigrants to America? The American Dream? The American Way? What is it that Adams suggested ought to be celebrated with pomp and parade? What is so important about the nation that prompted him to also write the 4th of July ought to "be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty"?  In an important collection of essays called The Idea of America, we explore the questions at the bedrock of the nation. This book represents some of the most significant ideas that have shaped thinking about America -- what it is and what it's supposed to be. Order  |  Find Out More
