In The Real Crash, New York Times best-selling author Peter D. Schiff argues that America is enjoying a government-inflated bubble, one that reality will explode... with disastrous consequences for the economy and for each of us. Schiff demonstrates how the infusion of billions of dollars of stimulus money has only dug a deeper hole: The United States government simply spends too much and does not collect enough money to pay its debts, and in the end, Americans from all walks of life will face a crushing consequence.

This is an updated version of the book that accurately predicted the global stock market crash of 2008, the bursting of the real estate bubble, and Ben Bernanke's unprecedented overreaction via quantitative easing programs. First published in 2008, the book quickly became a best seller not just for its timely insight into precious metals investment but for its amazingly accurate prediction of a "roller-coaster crash" - the manipulated whipsaw between inflation, deflation, and back again.

Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

The global economy has made what seems like an incredible comeback after the financial crisis of 2008. Yet this comeback is artificial. Central banks have propped up markets by keeping interest rates low and the supply of money free-flowing. They won't bail us out again next time. And there will be a next time...soon.

To be a truly great investor is to know something about commodities. For small investors and high rollers alike, Hot Commodities is as good as gold . . . or lead, or aluminum, which are some of the commodities Rogers says could be as rewarding for investors.

We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

Fantastic.

Summary
For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but also helped his clients restructure their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees today is a nation facing a growing economic storm - brought on by bursting bubbles and growing federal, personal, and corporate debt - that will only continue to intensify as the U.S. government refuses to allow market forces to repair the damage.
Crash Proof 2.0 picks up right where the first edition - which clearly foresaw the bursting of the real-estate bubble, credit crunch, and the insolvency of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - left off and includes much more up-to-the-minute analysis and advice. This timely guide takes into account the dramatic economic shifts that are reshaping America and provides you with valuable insights that will allow you to protect yourself, as well as prosper, during the difficult times that lie ahead.
Throughout, Schiff explains the factors that will affect your future financial stability - from the bubble in bond prices and collapse of the dollar to surging long-term interest rates and run-away inflation - and offers a specific three-step plan to battle today's economic downturn and tomorrow's market mayhem.

I did not realise this is not a new book
Crash proof 2 Crash Proof plus a couple of hours update in 2009
Which means there is no point buying Crash proof
The book is great but I would like to get my money back on The first edition - as cheap as that sounds
If you have less than £200k to invest you may not get you money's worth
But he answers a lot of questions - especially about the recent rise in the gold price and makes me feel more confident about my current portfolio and financial decisions.
i'm not sure about his confidence for Stirling - but he has left me a bit more confident about the euro

Great Book, well reasoned logic
Peter has a way of breaking down a system that has been designed as over complex and showing it for what it really is. The crash is still yet to happen and yet his clear logical argument remains. Its just a matter of time.

Eye opening look into the future of the US economy
I have been a follower of Peter Schiff since I ran across some of his blogs on YouTube about six months ago. After listening to this book I have a much better feel for what is coming and what I can do to protect myself and my money if and when the forecasts in this book occur.
My only gripe about the book is that the first 3/4ths of the book mostly cover stuff that has already happened and the last 1/4th is where we learn what can be done to prepare for the future events still coming. The beginning can still be informative for those who are unaware of why the economy collapsed and has temporarily rebounded like it did but the end is where the real substance is.

This is an Eye-Opening Book
The crazy thing about this book is the economic concepts seem so simple and logical yet Wall Street, Politicians and Americans never saw any of this coming (including myself).
The first half of the book does a great job of discussing "Classical Economics" and explains how the US has gotten into the economic situation we are in and what the effect will be going forward. The second part of the book is focused on investing accordingly.
Whether you are an investor or just a student of current economic policy and government I think you will find the book very powerful.
This book is the original book written in 2006 with a lengthy 2009 update at the end of each chapter. DON'T buy Crash Proof 1.0 as you will miss out on all the 2009 updates which are critical.

Long yet incomplete.
The book is generally a bit too long with lots of repetitions and it also treats the economic situations as if it (the book) provides "The right" explanation which seems to be an over simplification of a very complex world.
However, the biggest drawback is that it almost neglects the political side of the story completely! The author draws a picture where things went south because of recklessness, stupidity and mismanagement while ignoring lobbying, agency issues and pure corruption and also pin points solutions ignoring the political/social sides of the dilemma.
For me, books with less economical jargon and more political and "complete picture" approach give a better explanation (like Michael Lewis books or Griftopia or similar ones)

Very important information
This book is very insightful. Do not buy this book if you've already read "Crash Proof". This is just an update and has 90 percent of the same exact text. Otherwise, anyone who values their financial well being owes it to themselves to read/listen to this book and consider the points made by the author.

Read it, take it to heart and act conservatively, but don't borrow to invest; good grief!

Sound advice based on common sense.
If I had followed Peter Schiff's advice when I listened to Crash Proof when it was first released I would probably be pretty happy with the current state of my portfolio instead of pretty unhappy that I lost more than half of it. Well, I'm listening now.
This is the first book, updated at the end of each chapter. Timely info based on sound money economics.
Peter has stood the test of time. His predictions in 1.0 we're mostly on the mark. More importantly, his overall strategy has been proven correct for anyone that is investing for the long-term.
Paul Krugman fans turn back now,.. unless you want to hear the truth about how big government will continue to drag us all down the Road to Serfdom.
Well, hind-sight being 20/20 and all; I am following his advice now.

An insightful description on the economy
What did you love best about Crash Proof 2.0?
How the author broke down the housing crisis and economic disaster we encountered.
Who was your favorite character and why?
N/A
What does Sean Pratt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Sean Pratt is a good narrator, sometimes that is hard to find with audible books.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
Use as a history of the housing and bank collapse with an economic point of view.
Any additional comments?
Understand that some of Schiff's political point of views and ideals come out in this book. It is not as bad as some of his others. Once you get past him telling you how right he was and how no one listed to him as well as the several plugs for his one company it is pretty good. Do not use this book for the modern economic condition but a history lesson that one could possibly learn from if the government does not fix our tax and spending problem.

Excellent guidance for you financial protection.

Simply the best book - READ IT!!
This book is excellent! why? - because it explain all about the mess we are in (march of 2010) AND it did so before the economy collapsed. All other books on the great recession is written AFTER the collapse happen. Peter schiff wrote it BEFORE it happen. and explains why. This book changed my life. READ IT!
