The U.S. dollar is on the verge of catastrophe.

For the first time in history, the debt of the most powerful government on Earth, leading the world’s largest economy, has been downgraded by Standard & Poor’s to Double AA from a perfect Triple AAA.

The political grandstanding of the Republicans and Democrats over the debt ceiling made many Americans and others around the world doubt our leadership. And many feel the final deal between doesn’t go far enough to reduce US government spending.

US government debt now equals the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). That's like you or I owing an entire year of our incomes to Mastercard and Visa.

The 2007-2009 financial crisis appears to have been the first step toward a deflationary depression that could destroy the savings of three generations of Americans. We’ve technically been “recovering” since March 2009, but despite all government and Fed actions to stimulate the US economy, unemployment stubbornly remains over 9%.

That is, unless the government’s massive cash creation unleashes a wave of hyperinflation.

The US dollar has recently hit new record lows against the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, despite massive interventions by the central banks of those two countries.

China has divested itself of 97% of its holdings of short-term US Treasury bills. That happened by March 2011, well before the current downgrade.

China still owns many billions of US dollars of long-term Treasury bonds and is clearly worried about the future. They are making a big show of supporting Europe’s economy, so they have an alternative to the US dollar. What is wrong with us when the biggest Communistic country on Earth has to lecture us on how to manage our currency?

How much longer will China, Japan and international bankers continue to buy U.S. Treasury bonds to finance our swelling budget?

If these countries began selling US dollars instead of buying, the hyperinflation would bankrupt America

We – and Europeans – are also threatened by the debt problems of Europe. Greece nearly went up in flames over austerity measures forced on that country. Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland are also in bad shape. How long will France and German taxpayers continue to support them? If the euro breaks up, that will create more financial instability for the entire world.

Gold recently hit a record high of $1,813 per ounce.

I can't tell you exactly what is going to happen in the treacherous foreign exchange and financial markets in the future. Maybe another recession - the double dip some have been predicting since April 2009. Maybe deflation leading to a horrific depression. Maybe hyperinflation. Maybe a total collapse of the world's financial markets and infrastructure.

All I know for sure -- and every day's headlines confirm this -- is that the future for the US dollar, euro and other fiat currencies looks dark and ugly.

Bring on the Crash! offers a 3 part process to protect yourself and your family from these dangers.

Whether you have $2,000 or $2 million, this volume contains the resources you need to make sure you weather the coming storm.

This 3 step process is a comprehensive plan to survive almost all financial emergencies the US dollar is now facing.

And if we never fall through the thin economic ice the United States is now skating on, you'll still benefit from diversifying your retirement portfolio.

How insurgencies—enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere—have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.

In the last two years a movement known as "trans-Architectures" has gotten under way among architects and media artists. Dedicated to the conceptual use of computers in the design process, the movement's practitioners might study such things as the form of a cloud or the surface of water through computer models -- in order to conceptualize a new kind of space. This book considers the concept of accident as explored in the November 1998 Dutch Electronic Art Festival by members of "trans-Architectures, " and provides project descriptions, illustrations, interviews and essays from the symposium. Contributors include Paul Virilio, John Rajchman, Greg Lynn, Humberto Maturana, Lieven de Cauter, Lars Spuybroek, Marcos Novak, Seiko Mikami, and Knowbotic Research.

Accomplished historical author James Reston, Jr., presents the enthralling saga of how the Christian kingdoms converted, conquered, and slaughtered their way to dominance in Europe as the year 1000 approached. Through Reston's brilliant narrative and engaging portraits of the unforgettable historical characters who embodied the struggle for the soul of Europe, students are introduced to a pivotal period in history during which an old order was crumbling, and terrifying, confusing new ideas were gaining hold in the populace. From the righteous fury of the Viking queen Sigrid the Strong-Minded, who burned unwanted suitors alive; to the brilliant but too-cunning Moor, al-Mansur the Illustrious Victor; to the aptly named English king Ethelred the Unready; to the abiding genius of the age, Pope Sylvester II—warrior kings and concubine empresses, maniacal warriors and religious zealots bring this stirring period to life.

WINNER OF THE LIONEL GELBER PRIZE A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' TOP BOOK "An intelligent explanation of the mechanisms that produced the crisis and the response to it...One of the great strengths of Tooze's book is to demonstrate the deeply intertwined nature of the European and American financial systems."--The New York Times Book Review From the prizewinning economic historian and author of Shutdown and The Deluge, an eye-opening reinterpretation of the 2008 economic crisis (and its ten-year aftermath) as a global event that directly led to the shockwaves being felt around the world today. We live in a world where dramatic shifts in the domestic and global economy command the headlines, from rollbacks in US banking regulations to tariffs that may ignite international trade wars. But current events have deep roots, and the key to navigating today’s roiling policies lies in the events that started it all—the 2008 economic crisis and its aftermath. Despite initial attempts to downplay the crisis as a local incident, what happened on Wall Street beginning in 2008 was, in fact, a dramatic caesura of global significance that spiraled around the world, from the financial markets of the UK and Europe to the factories and dockyards of Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, forcing a rearrangement of global governance. With a historian’s eye for detail, connection, and consequence, Adam Tooze brings the story right up to today’s negotiations, actions, and threats—a much-needed perspective on a global catastrophe and its long-term consequences.
