Description
Panzner, author and 25-year-veteran of the global stock, bond, and currency markets, provides strategies and direction for achieving financial security in a precariously positioned and dangerous world. The author presents his decidedly pessimistic case for a future characterized by instability and disruptions of the established monetary and political order--and how, for many people, that future will be nothing less than a modern version of the Dark Ages. The author's recommendations are based on examinations of social, political, economic, and geopolitical issues as well as the simple realities of earning a living and preserving wealth. The arguments and writing are straightforward and clear. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
