The Coming New Dark Ages: The Truth About the U.S. Economy

The Coming New Dark Ages: The Truth About the U.S. Economy Review

Americans will soon be confronted with a convergence of forces that will tear apart the economic and social fabric of the country. These forces have long been foreseen by a handful of scientists and economists; yet, heightened warnings to policymakers have been ignored or dismissed. As a consequence, Americans are about to find themselves subjected to the unforgiving laws of nature, bearing the full punishment for their leaders' folly. The U.S. will soon experience a cruel succession of events characterized by fuel and food shortages, loss of civil services, dangerously high unemployment, failed markets and civil upheaval. As the U.S. government continues to flood the world with dollars, to monetize its debts, to abandon manufacturing, to usurp the productive economy, and to thwart energy production, the very foundations of the economy will imminently fail and the fabric of an already contentious and stressed society will unravel. The Coming New Dark Ages reveals the truth about the current and near-future state of the U.S. economy, and demonstrates why the nation is on an irreversible course that will likely end with the impoverishment of its citizens.
