The bad news is that the American Dollar is heading towards second-class citizenship in the world market. It’s only a matter of time. But author Addison Wiggin shows readers how to take advantage of the hidden investment opportunities there are in his new book The Demise of the Dollar… and Why It’s Great For Your Investments. Wiggin explains, in a clear manner that will appeal to non-economists who are interested in investing, the history of the government and consumer spending habits, and how they have changed in the last two centuries. He directly explains how and why the dollar is declining in today’s market, due to inflation, foreign credit, national debt and the deficit. Wiggin is extremely critical of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan’s policies over the decades, especially the massive shift from production to credit. How to combat this increasingly alarming situation? Wiggin recommends investing in precious metals, tangible resources, and some select foreign markets.
