This is just self-praise for predicting the '08 crash, which had already been predicted by many economists - including economists who were much better trained (i.e. people who had earned a PhD in economics, like Paul Krugman, who they criticize - solely for political reasons - and without any evidence to back it up). Let me save you some time & money by summarizing this book for you... A guide for protecting yourself: 1) We predicted the '08 crash. 2) There's another crash coming (more on that later). 3) Buy gold. 4) Go to step 1. This is repeated throughout the whole book, in a very clumsy writing style that's chock full of errors. There's no data or evidence. It reads like an infomercial written by a high school student. Their real goal for this "free" book is to get you to pay for an online newsletter which is nearly impossible to cancel. I'm surprised they haven't been convicted of mail fraud by now.
