Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Death of Money by James Rickards is a bestseller that delves into the bleak prospects of financial Armageddon, global collapse, and chaos. Rickards warns of why this scenario is imminent and how it can possibly be avoided.

The US dollar is under attack from all sides. If—or when—it fails, the entire international monetary system will be likely to collapse. Again. The potential results include financial warfare, deflation, hyperinflation, market collapse, and chaos.

Rickards offers a bracing analysis of the fundamental problem: money is transitory and ephemeral; wealth is permanent and tangible. Governments, banks, and institutions may muddle through these financial abysses, but the true 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, providing insights into the actions that can be taken to weather the storm.
