The Power of Being Debt Free: How Eliminating the National Debt Could Radically Improve Your Standard of Living [Hardcover]

Robert Harold Schuller (Author), Paul David Dunn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1985

The authors offer a visionary plan for bringing about a debt-free America. First, they trace the historical roots of our national debt, carefully distinguishing between responsible debt and sheer fiscal foolishness that surfaces in government waste and politicians yielding to the demands of special interest groups. If we, as private individuals, must live within our means, then why can't the government do the same?

This review is from: The Power of Being Debt Free: How Eliminating the National Debt Could Radically Improve Your Standard of Living (Hardcover)

The book really needs an update due to the fact that it is nearly thirty years old and a lot has changed in the worlds of finance and economics.

I give it three stars because it offers a balanced budget amendment that would work even today, and is designed to help solve a problem that still plagues us all.

It would have rated higher but the writing is a bit amateurish. Schuller repeats himself repeatedly about how he tells stories. Though he does give some concrete examples on how to make it through a recession and how a person should conduct their finances.
