Yesterday,
October 29, my new book, The
Dollar Meltdown: Surviving the Impending Currency Crisis with Gold,
Oil, and Other Unconventional Investments, arrived in bookstores.
It describes the next and most difficult phase of America’s financial
turmoil – the coming currency crisis. But more than that, it
outlines simple steps to protect yourself and your family. Congressman
Ron Paul calls The Dollar Meltdown "truly a must read."

In
The Dollar Meltdown you’ll find out:

• How
  the price of gold moves higher with each increase in the U.S.
  national debt ceiling. (The lid on the national debt was
  raised an astonishing 7 times in the Bush years and once already
  in Obama’s presidency. And another debt ceiling hike is
  right around the corner!)

• How
  the short frenzy of bailouts, stimulus spending and government
  guarantees, quickly grew to more than the entire U.S. federal
  debt! (And why they lit the fuse for The Dollar Meltdown!)

• Why
  Federal Reserve chairmen Greenspan and Bernanke failed to foresee
  the growing financial crisis – even as they added fuel
  to its fires! (And why the more-of-the-same policies spell
  an even bigger calamity than the one we’re living through!)

• How
  the visible national debt of $12 trillion is dwarfed by America’s
  real, but hidden, national debt of almost $100 trillion!
  (Like an iceberg, most of the nation’s debt is hidden from
  view. And like the Titanic, the ship of state can’t be
  turned in time to avoid a financial collision.)

• What
  your share of the hidden national debt is: For a family of four
  it’s about $1.3 million. (Since America’s median
  household income is only $50,000, you see why there is no prospect
  of the debt ever being paid.)

• About
  the sleight-of-hand by which the Federal Reserve creates money
  out of thin air! (And why they do it!)

• How
  the Adjusted Monetary Base has exploded as the Federal Reserve
  revs up the engines of inflation. (And like a race car revving
  up at the starting line, what happens when the clutch is popped!)

• About
  America’s growing “command economy” and the three
  things that accompany an out-of-control debt-driven monetary
  policy. (Price controls, rationing, and intrusive bureaucracies.)

• What
  Persian Gulf oil producers and other countries are doing to
  prepare for the dollar meltdown. (And the similar steps
  you can take to protect yourself and your family!)

• Why
  energy independence – promised by every president from
  Nixon to Obama – is a costly myth! (And why China gave
  up that myth to secure its energy future.)

• Why
  a growing global population and billions of new capitalists
  will make agriculture and natural resources the investment safe
  havens of the future. (And discover simple strategies that
  allow you to participate without the leverage risk, margin calls
  and emotional toll that these opportunities used to demand.)

But most importantly,
The
Dollar Meltdown was written to help you avoid being victimized
by decades of governmental irresponsibility. Investor Peter Schiff
calls The Dollar Meltdown "a sensible plan to protect
your wealth." And he adds this warning: "Don’t wait for
the dollar to melt down – protect your assets before they melt
down with it."

The U.S. Dollar
is in trouble. A currency crisis is not a pleasant event. I hope
you will enjoy the book and profit from it.
