The Death of Money

The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System

The US dollar is under attack from all sides. If - or when - it fails, the entire international monetary system will collapse. Again. The potential results: Financial warfare. Deflation. Hyperinflation. Market collapse. Chaos.

Rickards offers a bracing analysis of the fundamental problem: money is transitory and ephemeral; wealth is permanent and tangible. Governments, banks, and institutions will muddle through, but the real victims will be small investors. Fortunately, it is not too late to prepare for the coming death of money. In this riveting book, James Rickards shows us how.

A fast-paced and apocalyptic look at the financial future, taking in financiers' greed, central banks' incompetence and impending Armageddon for the dollar ... Rickards may be right that 'the system is going wobbly'
