a must-read book!

April 18, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I will admit I am partial to Mr Smith- I read his blog faithfully, with great interest, every day ([...]). So, I was not disappointed by this book. The author is right on target with his assessment of what exactly is wrong with the country and our economy today (too many entitlements/feelings of entitlement by many, massive govt complexity and overspending which is leading to collapse, overreaching/ bloodsucking plutocracy out to keep the debt-serfs in line, draining military expenditures among many others). He is neither "left" nor "right" but just *practical*. The book is not only a captivating read, but actually has clear solutions to what ails us. Not everyone will want to hear the truth (or what needs to be done), but Smith tells it like it is in his usual intelligent and thought-provoking way. Trust me, there are some hard facts to swallow here, but we must swallow the right pill or we will never wake up! This book is very different from the majority of books out there. I also enjoyed the "learning concepts" at the end of each chapter- amusing!

This is not your casual nighttime reading. It reads more like a textbook from college than anything else, so be prepared to concentrate. I found myself slowly reading each page, pausing, then rereading it again. It is so filled with concepts and scenarios to sift through and reflect on, that it can be overwhelming at times. It is by no means a "reference" book that you'll turn to when in an emergency, more like a long term strategy book that you better have memorized before SHTF.

I read it probably a year ago, and off the top of my head the key concepts I remember out of it are the following:

1)All political parties are flawed, including libertarianism (my personal choice), and will lead to an inevitable breakdown of society in one way or the other, sooner or later. In the case of the USA, we are headed there sooner.

2)If you accept 1), then you better get prepared to survive some turbulent times. Striving for self sufficiency will only make you a target, so you are better off finding some like-minded neighbors and building a network of people than have the skills and resources to help you survive. Then you better make yourself useful. Learn a skill that "matters" so you are needed in the above-described network.

A must read for every concerned citizen

January 12, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Charles Hugh Smith is one of the leading independent thinkers and writers of our time. For a sample of his work you can go to [...] and read through his blog. He has a very unique way of taking the theoretical and distilling it down to the practical and he is able to do this over a very broad conceptual landscape, to include things such as macro and micro economics, national and local politics, agribusiness and local farming, big healthcare and holistic healing, historical analysis and current events, etc...

I do not know of a better book to read if one is trying to make sense out of the many different macro and micro forces that are in motion in our current troubled times. While many of the mainstream pundits offer up confusing, conflicting, and nonsensical explanations for what is happening in our economy and culture, Charles offers a true voice of reason and a compelling narrative for what is going wrong now, what the future is likely to look like, and what one can do to live the best possible life under those conditions.

This book holds no bones. It states clearly and concisely why the US (and thus to a greater extent the world) is in dire straits. I personally like the straight forward, no nonsense reality check in this book. Do not buy this book if you like to keep illusions on who runs the economy and what their motivations are. The truth is often not pretty and reading this book is refreshing in that it is really an objective view from someone not owned by media, education, business or government. Even if we do not accept all the ideas presented by CHS we must appreciate his excellent critique of modern society, culture and economics. Mr Smith also proposes concrete and viable solutions on how to help the country and ourselves at the same time - it is an optimistic book in spite of the title. Any doubts about buying it should be solved by checking his popular blog at [...]

A wonderful book on financial survival

This is another great book by Charles Hugh Smith that is so jammed packed full of nuggets of wisdom it will take some time to digest and apply.

Dense, but accurate.

One mans' observations of where we are, how we got here, & how an individual might react accordingly.

I would have liked it at 2/3 the size, & more of a cut to the chase writing style,, but I'd recommend it for everyone.

He's an independent writer. Support free speech & buy his book.

You might not agree with him, but I'd love to see an argument to try to prove him wrong.

Go on, buy it now & learn about the reality you may not be aware of.

Most truthful economic analysis I've ever read

May 21, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The author concludes that our economy is almost certainly going down. There is a detailed discussion about the numerous why's, and more importantly What we can do about it. The book is brutally honest, without any fluffy cures. But it is well worth the time it takes to understand the complex dilema we now find ourself stuck in now before the 2012 election cycle.

I highly recommend this book. You'll want a few extra copies to share with your friends, but I wouldn't plan on getting them back. Everyone will want to keep and study this book.

Don't forget there is hope at the end of the tunnel. We tend to forget that while we're mired in negativity.

One Book that should be required reading

This book is the best and most insightful book I read on this topic. Well structures, many good examples of what is wrong and how it got to that point.Read more

Maybe Worth Reading

The value I extracted from this book required too much sifting and sorting. It could do with a complete revision to about half its considerable length.Read more
