Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Detroit was to be a workers' paradise, a symbol of Progressive success. Instead, it has become a symbol of Big Government failure, corruption, violence and decay. In 2013, after a great withdrawal of more than a million productive residents, once-great 'Debtroit' became the largest American city ever to declare bankruptcy.The Great Withdrawal explores why Detroit failed, why other liberal cities may soon follow, and how this could drag America into insolvency and prolonged Depression.It explores the bizarre Nanny Statist Progressive movement that took power in America in 1913 and has driven America on a 100-Year Detour away from the ideals of our nation's Founders and towards the stagnation of Euro-socialist welfare states.Smith and Ponte, in this their fourth book, look at how Progressivism has used addiction to welfare and easy money, as well as psychological manipulation politics from crisis-ocracy and the herd inside our heads to the sinister brain science techniques known as nudge to win elections, manufacture consent, impose invisible taxes, and control us.Progressives now feel their power slipping away as Americans are withdrawing from a century of hypnotic control. This, argue Smith and Ponte, is why a desperate Left is turning to naked force--financial repression, rule by decree, regulution, crony capitalism, seizures and wealth redistribution, and politicized government agencies including the IRS and NSA to keep their hold on government power.These power grabs will fail, predict monetary expert Smith and former think tank futurist Ponte, because Progressives are obsessed with obsolete centralization and expansion of government power. Progressives are doomed, even if they cling to power, to rule a nation that their policies have put into an economic death spiral towards a new Dark Age.The path back to the Framers' prosperous Constitutional Republic, Smith and Ponte write, will decentralize and return Power to the People via the Internet, 3-D printing, decentralized energy, honest money, small government and individual self-reliance. They offer a road map back to the ideals Americans held before the very alien European ideology of collectivist Progressivism steered our nation off course exactly 100 years ago. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. After 100 years of deliberate debasement, the U.S. Dollar is dying. Our politicians have deceptively siphoned off so much of its value that a 2012 dollar has only two pennies of the purchasing power of a 1913 dollar.This Great Debasement of America's money is by far the largest confiscation of wealth in world history--and you, your children and your grandchildren are the ones on the losing end of this century-long policy.The Federal Reserve System, created by Progressives in 1913 to give America an 'elastic' money, has taken on such enormous and far-ranging powers that it has become 'the fourth branch of government' that killed the gold-backed dollar, and replaced it with an impostor currency, a central cause of today's dangerous economic problems.On the 100th Anniversaries of the 1912 Progressive takeover of America and 1913 imposition of the Fed and income tax---still working together synergistically to transform the U.S.A.--- we expose, and show how to reverse, the Progressives' Great Debasement of America.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Crashing the Dollar crackles with the page-turning excitement of a spy novel or murder mystery as it tracks down those who are killing the U.S. dollar, and strips bare the secret agenda and tactics of those behind today's impending economic collapse. The current economic downturn-the worst since the Great Depression-will soon be replaced, this book predicts, by severe inflation that could destroy the value of the U.S. dollar. The dollar is the world's reserve currency, used in international purchases of oil and other key commodities, and in central bank reserves that many other countries use to support their own currencies. Inflation is coming, this book argues, because the United States now has combined short-term and long-term obligations of more than $120 trillion. Crashing the Dollar offers ways to save our republic and, if we prepare wisely, ourselves from the death spiral of extreme debt and extremist politics that scheming politicians and radical activists have deliberately created.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The symbol of bank security has been the safe. Today it should be the unsafe because, as this book reveals, your bank deposits are now in danger in at least 20 major ways--from cybercriminals, money-hungry politicians, Too-Big-To-Fail bankers, and those now stealing your dollars' value--including the dollars you thought were secure inside bank vaults.Your bank account is systematically being robbed, and is at serious risk of being seized and looted. How much interest is your bank paying you for putting your money at such risk? Less Than Zero Percent Monetary expert Craig R. Smith and futurist Lowell Ponte show why it has become illogical, and hazardous to your wealth, to trust your money to today's increasingly vulnerable and unsafe banks.Banks (as we know them) and the U.S. Dollar are dying as we are pulled into the rising cashless society where everything, from your digital money to your household appliances, will be Internet-controllable and hackable, as well as trackable and taxable by bloated governments desperate for ever-more revenue.Smith and Ponte propose a surprising alternative future you can bank on, based in part on what a Harvard economics professor did with his own near-million-dollar bank account. This book shows ways to save your savings.…
