Book Description

Publication Date: January 2003

No matter what country people live in, they all dislike high taxes and inflation, because they recognize the hardships they impose on their lives and families. By nature, we are a compassionate people. We don't like to see other people suffer, especially starving children. The September 11 disaster has proved beyond doubt that the American people can and do respond to crises with compassion and generosity, even heroism. When we hear that worldwide, 24,000 people die of hunger every day, we know this is a crisis. We care and we'd like to help. But what can we do? When most stocks were rising faster than flames on a pine tree during a forest fire, investors in the stock market felt prosperous even wealthy. They didn't think what would happen when the stock market crashed the way it's doing now. They couldn't visualize how that would devastate the whole economy and that greed was destroying the market itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars There Are Lives At Stake, August 4, 2003

David St.John (Oakland, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A World Held Hostage by Debt (Paperback)

I have read the "World Held Hostage By Debt" and
was left feeling outrage and the need to take action
to do something about it.

I have read about of all these topics before and
knew what you were writing about, but many
Americans have not and need to be told. But even I
who already knew the truth about our money system
was moved to action as by no other book I've ever
read on the subject.

Your book is so well researched and based on fact
rather than emotion that it is absolutely convincing
where other books can be easily dismissed by the
skeptical. This is why we must bring it to the reading
public. There are lives at stake.....
