Book Review - Dollar Crisis (Richard Duncan)

Dollar Crisis (Richard Duncan) are for those serious investors who wants to know what are the current economics trends in the world. It talks about what happens when the US flood the world with US dollars (do note because of the current credit crisis, there will be another tsunami of US dollars flooding the world. OH NO! *Slap forehead*)

Sounds like you need to be an economist to enjoy the book? Nope, it cannot be a best seller if that is the case right? All serious investors at any level can enjoy this book because the writings are simple if you have been following the newspapers.

Of course I do not deny that economist would have a better insights as to what this book has to offer. Best part of the book is it predicted the credit crisis that is happening now. Read page 189 for more details once you have bought the book.

For the economist out there, this is the usual fight between which approach to the economy is good. Keynesian or monetarist? Round XXX! Fight! (Cannot remember how many times they contest each other)

The book serves its purpose for the savvy investors in providing the causes, consequences and cures for the US dollar flood. Investors are strongly encourage to get the book and read, or should I say 'devour' it!

I give this book 3.5 stars out of five. Not a fun read for any laymen but a must-read for serious investors.
