I bought the book based on a glowing recommendation by someone involved with the preparedness community and the other (overwhelmingly) positive reviews here. I'm not disappointed- it's an awesome book. The author is straight forward, his style is engaging, and the material is beyond relevant. The description of pre-collapse Argentina (both socially, politically, and financially- on a national scale) is eerily similar to our own Stateside. That caught my attention right away. Argentina wasn't just some third world shaky Latin American country. It was on par with the US as far as economy and standards of living go. So, yes, the same thing could very easily happen here-- especially given our climbing national debt.
I think the worst part of considering an economic collapse (or any other SHTF event) is that we don't know what to expect, leaving the imagination to run wild. Read this and your imagination can rest easy. This is the experience of a man who survived an economic collapse. He presents the reader with what happened to Argentine society afterwards and the applicable (and accessible!) skills and resources that were useful to him and his family for getting through it. I wonder if the folks who left one star reviews even read the same book? Best prepping book I've read. Hands down.
