Unabridged Audiobook
The speculative-fiction played out in this 2029 - 2049 time period in New York follows a family through their trials and tribulations post-US economy failure, and then complete reset. The book comes highly touted as plausible ("the best depiciton of life after a financial collapse") by American lawyer, economist, world-sought currency-war advisor/speaker James Rickards in his 2019 book Aftermath (a look at historical through current global finance pertaining to the US, and how it can bring collapse via various scenarios). Rickards states this book is the closest thing he believes a financial fall out would look like in terms of every day life post the first collapse, and subsequent crash, then navigating the rebound economy/government. The book's author explains that she wrote it out of her US 2008 economic fall experience stating, "I think we dodged the bullet, but the bullet's still flying around." I agree with both authors' economic assessment. What goes up eventually becomes too big to sustain, and comes back down (the Bell Curve). So, the question is not if, but when? And, how one can/should think through how to mitigate-navigate not only personal financial downturn in the wake, but how to survive, then revive.
