About this ebook
The economic tipping point for the United States is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. The country has gone from the world's largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar is sinking; domestic manufacturing is winding down - and these trends don't seem to be slowing. Peter Schiff casts a sharp, clear-sighted eye on these factors and explains what the possible effects may be and how investors can protect themselves. For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but also helped his clients reposition their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt, too-little savings, a declining dollar, and lack of domestic manufacturing.
Crash-Proof is an informed and informative warning of a looming period marked by sizeable tax hikes, loss of retirement benefits, double digit inflation, even - as happened recently in Argentina - the possible collapse of the middle class. However, Schiff does have a survival plan that can provide the protection that readers will need in the coming years.

Peter Schiff gives you a no nonsense approach as to how the current US economy's direction is heading to. The author also suggest what the best investments will be to protect ourselves from impending economic collapse.
Although I do not fully agree the real gloom and doom scenario as predicted in the book. Due to experience i have living in a third world country the dollar collapse will force people to live in what we call a lower standard of living.
Gold or metals are still subject to the whims of Law of Supply and demand, now on which currency the commodity will be traded we shall know in ten years. The shift in economic balance is now shifting to Asia

Yes. Peter Schiff predicted the sub-prime crisis in 2006. But he is NOT the only one. Soros predicted in 2003.
When Schiff talked about gold, he didn't mentioned IMF as the largest holder. Peter Schiff is good, but not a master like Soros.
