| Summary |
Dr. Stephen Leeb's previous books have provided impeccable, if frightening, credentials to merit our undivided attention. This book doesn't offer rosy conclusions or simple panaceas, but it does present his detailed assessment of the worrisome global economic problems and what readers can do to protect their resources. Tough words for tough times. |
