The reasons for America's demise include dependence on foreign oil, politicians not willing to tell the hard truths, loss of manufactoring jobs which pay good wages along the with loss of long term retirement benefits. Combining these issues with the monsterous national debt can and will create an American Bankruptcy. The author attempts to explain a long term solution and the unintended consquences of taking the wrong actions.

Our federal government is going broke, with fifty trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities. If you rely on government benefits or contracts, count on Social Security or Medicare, pay taxes, vote, or invest in the USA, then you need to understand the federal budget crisis, the dominant issue in American politics for the next two decades. Buchanan explains the crisis and how the Baby Boomers will bust the budget when they retire, leading to trillion dollar deficits within a dozen years. Buchanan then lays out a detailed and principled plan for completely solving our budget crisis: cutting federal spending, reforming major entitlements, paying off federal debt held by the public, and making fiscal discipline permanent. Buchanan set out to write a book for the layperson and succeeded, keeping the main text to a dozen short chapters. Policy wonks will be pleased by the historical perspectives on key programs and trends, along with extensive notes and access to most sources via the Internet.

In 2005, more than two million Americans—six out of every 1,000 people—filed for bankruptcy. Though personal bankruptcy rates have since stabilized, bankruptcy remains an important tool for the relief of financially distressed households. In Bankrupt in America, Mary and Brad Hansen offer a vital perspective on the history of bankruptcy in America, beginning with the first lasting federal bankruptcy law enacted in 1898. Interweaving careful legal history and rigorous economic analysis, Bankrupt in America is the first work to trace how bankruptcy was transformed from an intermittently used constitutional provision, to an indispensable tool for business, to a central element of the social safety net for ordinary Americans. To do this, the authors track federal bankruptcy law, as well as related state and federal laws, examining the interaction between changes in the laws and changes in how people in each state used the bankruptcy law. In this thorough investigation, Hansen and Hansen reach novel conclusions about the causes and consequences of bankruptcy, adding nuance to the discussion of the relationship between bankruptcy rates and economic performance.

Over the last three decades, debt, bankruptcy, and home foreclosures have risen to epidemic levels. To make matters worse, the personal savings rate is at its lowest point since the Great Depression. Why, in the richest nation on earth, can't Americans hold on to our money? Winner of the prestigious William James Book Award for Believing in Magic and an authority on irrational behavior, Stuart Vyse offers a unique psychological perspective on the financial behavior of the many Americans today who find they cannot make ends meet, illuminating the causes of our wildly self-destructive spending habits. But unlike other authors, he doesn't entirely blame the victim. Bringing together fascinating studies of consumer behavior, he argues that the mountain of debt burying so many of us is the inevitable byproduct of America's turbo-charged economy and, in particular, of social and technological trends that undermine our self-control. Going Broke illuminates everything from the rise of the credit card, to the increase in state lotteries and casino gambling, to the expansion of new shopping opportunities provided by toll-free numbers, home shopping networks, big-box stores, and the Internet, revealing how vast changes in American society over the last 30 years have greatly complicated our relationship with money. Vyse concludes both with personal advice for the individual who wants to achieve greater financial stability and with pointed recommendations for economic and social change that will help promote the financial health of all Americans. Engagingly written, with startling insights into modern consumerism and with poignant human-interest stories of people facing financial failure, Going Broke offers a provocative new perspective on American economic behavior that is likely to stir controversy and serious debate.
