Format:Paperback
In a nutshell: With Bankruptcy of Our Nation, Jerry Robinson has done a good job of informing us about the current economic problems we are facing in the United States. He shows us why the value of the dollar is declining, and how debt has grown. He also shows us what the economy may look like in the future based on our current economy. His research is well-documented within each chapter, and the information he shares is easy to understand. Jerry Robinson ends the book by sharing with us twelve strategies for ensuring that your finances are protected in the uncertain future. These are very helpful strategies, and my only wish is that more of the book was spent discussing them. Overall, the book is very informative, insightful, and thought-provoking.

Extended Review:
Content: Part 1: The Demise of the Dollar (What is Money. . . Really?, A Short History of Fiat Currencies, Why the Dollar is Doomed). Part 2: A Nation of Debt (America: The Greatest Debtor Nation in World History, The 2040 Crisis, Why Inflation is Coming). Part 3: The Energy Crisis (Hubbert's Peak: Our Greatest Fears Confirmed, The Coming Breakdown of the Petrodollar System, The Future of Oil and the End of Dollar Hegemony). Part 4: The Federal Reserve Fraud (How America Lost the Revolutionary War, Modern Money Mechanics: What the Banking Industry Does Not Want You to Know, Bailout Nation). Part 5: The End of the Consumption Gospel (Maxed Out: The New American Slavery, Shattering the Myths of the American Mindset, Why the Message of "Sacrifice" is Coming to the American Church, Forecasting the Future, Twelve Key Strategies for Weathering the Impending Economic Storm).

Format: The subjects within the book progress nicely, and are supported by documented research (endnotes of each chapter).

Readability: The book is written in a manner that is understandable for everyday people.

Overall: The book provides a lot of insight into how we arrived where we are, and what may happen if we keep doing what we've done. There are some very good actions to take in the last chapter to safe-guard your finances - I just wish this was a bigger focus of the book overall.

Format:Paperback
Jerry Robinson's timely read, "The Bankruptcy of our Nation", should have come out a year or so ago. But would we have paid attention to this message then? Maybe, but probably not. I know of several other books on this subject that have accurately watched trends and foretold of our current state of affairs that too few people read. But now that we're right in the midst of the economic madness, Robinson offers insight into various aspects of what is affecting our national and global financial issues including world banking, oil, the bailout, and historical perspective. This section is necessary so that we may be aware of trends and how history repeats itself. However, if the reader would only take note of the 12 key strategies the author presents to protect and build the reader's financial state, that would be worth picking up this book. Free online resources, sound Biblical advice and timeless quotes from admirable sources round out the text.

As a retired political science professor, I knew much of what the author discusses. Therefore, he was able to establish a level of credibility for me. He took that relationship to a new level by providing well-referenced new information, connecting the dots for me in several areas. I had already become a recovering conservative Republican; finding as much fault in Republican leadership as I had previously reserved for liberal Democrats. And as an evangelical Christian, I appreciated his connection to end times.

His greatest weakness is editing. Numerous spelling and grammar errors would deter some from taking him seriously. Having graded many major papers and theses, I have learned to look past that.
