Surviving the new economic disorder

There is no question that America is in the midst of a serious financial crisis--unemployment is up, homes are going into foreclosure, and every day it costs more and more just to get by.

Economist Larry Bates understands the serious problems we face, and in The New Economic Disorder he reveals the five powerful, dangerous, and unstoppable forces that are causing it. With clarity and confidence, he turns to the Bible to help us to understand that there is a permanent, lasting solution, addressing such topics as:

* The coming new world order and what it has to do with your finances
* Your financial privacy (hint, you don't have any...)
* How government manipulation has given us an illusion of prosperity
* The debt bubble and what that means for your investments

God does indeed have a plan! Discover how you and your family can survive--and thrive--in these difficult times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read, September 30, 2008

This review is from: The New Economic Disorder: Strategies for Weathering Any Crisis While Keeping Your Finances Intact (Paperback)

I thought it was a good quick read book. He had a few things in it that were very very insightful. While it's not a deep in depth book, I thought he did pretty good. (I have to say he did good because he thinks just like me. lol )Besides he predicted was is now happening on Wall Street to the letter. He seems to know his stuff and doesn't tout himself as being a super intelligent PHDD EEconomic ID alien know-it-all. He simply presents his ideological opinion of the current economic banking system along with the Bible. Yes the bible. He was a banker, congressman and a pretty smart guy to foresee what is now happening on Wall Street. If you have any interest in the markets, this is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best expose on the "real" economy in years!, November 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Economic Disorder (Paperback)

Dr. Bates really exposes the truth behind our currency and banking system and how it affects all of us in our daily lives. This is a must read for all trying to make heads or tails of the turmoil in our economy today. While it was written five years ago, the information and basic principles it uncovers are timeless and will be as true one hundred years from now as they are today. If you are concerened for your financial future or that of future generations, you will find solutions to the economic problems that we are facing today. For those who need to know what to do to protect their hard-earned assets, this is again, a must read.
I am impressed with this book and recommend that every household read a copy. It should be required reading for all business and economic majors.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Subtitle, January 2, 2009

This review is from: The New Economic Disorder: Strategies for Weathering Any Crisis While Keeping Your Finances Intact (Paperback)

Mr. Bates' book is long on problem definition but miniscule on what to do about it. He does an excellent job of describing how the "New Economic Disorder" came about, but to suggest that there are mitigating "Strategies" for your personal finances in the book is highly misleading. In fact, I would say that his recommendations for dealing with the current financial crisis at a personal level almost seem to be an afterthought.
