Unabridged Audiobook
Not only a historical walk through the ups-n-downs of the monetary system of the United States and globally, but an in-the-moment 2011 examination...plus near-future extrapolation in relation to the US and internationally. The author is not trying to cry doomsday as much as to encourage the listener to understand historical patterns, and to take stock of where one is at, and personal wealth management planning should a global crisis occur (which affects one on the home front as well). The author does an admirable job not only scaling down macro global economics to something managable for the average-man to digest, but also caring to encourage the reader to see where one fits in on the micro level. That being said, while this book is technically an easy listen (no lists/quizes, so one can multi-task while listening), it is VERY heady with a lot of global/economic terms while tying hundreds of years of economic/global history together into a single thread--which means better absorbed by listener if no distractions, and that chore had better be all labor if the listener is planning on comprehending. Eat your Wheaties. This is a hearty history lesson to chew on. [2020 review note: 1. This 2011 book is the first in a series that Rickards puts out every few years or so using historical data to backup his analysis of the current US/Global economic situation as it pertains to the everyday citizen. July 2019 Aftermath is his current book. And his next book, The New Great Depression, is due out January 2021. 2. The audiobooks read by author Rickards himself are a tad harder to listen/comprehend--not as audibly clear or slow as a professional reader.]
