Rezension

"This is the only person I have heard who seems to have the total picture and the guts or the insanity to actually say it out loud."—Glenn Beck "This book is a MUST READ for everyone—especially those who still believe Big Government can solve all our debt problems, forever postpon the day of reckoning, and grow even bigger in the years ahead!" —Martin D. Weiss, New York Times bestselling author "This powerful book tears away the illusions generated by politicians, media, and the financial industry in their efforts to maintain the status quo. So many years ago, Damon and I felt this would end badly, but we never thought it would get to this extreme. He puts into words what too many people don't want to think about or prepare for. The Day After the Dollar Crashes is a must for anyone who wants to survive and prosper in today's unstable economy."—David Tice, President, Tice Capital LLC "Damon Vickers wants you prepared for an unpredictable future. Are you? If not, time to wake up."—Michael W. Covel, Bestselling Author of Trend Following and The Complete Turtle Trader "The Day After the Dollar Crashes is Vickers at his best. He lays out the facts in his characteristically straightforward, no-nonsense style. He develops his thesis in compelling, short, to-the-point chapters—and he has plenty of concrete suggestions for personal survival—as well as a plan for how we might be able to turn it all around and create a new and sustainable world society."—Ed Seykota "Though we differ on solutions, Vickers' well argued financial warnings are miles ahead of the 'everything is fine' crowd."—Robert Prechter, Elliott Wave International
