Sean Callahan, publisher of the recently created Considering All Things: Alarms and Discursions blog, reviews my book:
Wow! If you are one of those people who like to prepare for the worst case, this is the book for you. An eye-opening narrative describes the potential horrors yet to come as a result of gorging ourselves on debt these past 20 years. This is definitely not your standard 1990's investment advice fare recommending dollar-cost averaging your way to a successful retirement. In sum, the author says get ready, here comes the big economic implosion with a dramatic downturn in the average American's standard of living. More importantly, if you think his case is credible, Mr. Panzner provides his readers a set of defensive tactics to protect wealth while posturing to take advantage of the opportunities born of the coming crisis. I wouldn't say that if you were going to read only one book on the future of America that this is it---you might move to Australia before the last chapter---but the read provides a worthwhile exercise of the imagination for the open-minded reader. Mr. Panzner reminds us that, yes, it can happen to us and forewarned is forearmed.

Its the medium of exchange stupid! But the bottom line is human behavior!!Money is a broad term but was comes to mind is money used as a weapon,its value can be manipulated its also a great medium to engage in speculation and corruption its very effective to influence psychological behavior (Wall Street is a grand master at this game)one could write volumes on this subject suffice to say that given the very dismal history of Homo sapiens fairness,greed dishonesty and their need to exploit & dominate,is it any wonder that we have such economic chaos? PS Michael Panzer yours is a very good book I recomand it
