The Politics of Money

Book excerpt: A warning: never before in recorded history has humankind faced a crisis like the one which lies directly in our path. An unstoppable cataclysmic fiscal event is rapidly approaching which is going to wipe out a large portion of the world's population. Make no mistake about it, those holding positions at the highest levels of government are well aware that a monster is coming our way-but there is a paradox. Although this single event is going to leave the vast majority who survive desperate and destitute, never before has there been a greater opportunity for those with little or no net worth to become massively wealthy. It is at times like this where fortunes (and lives) are lost, and also made. This book illuminates the dark forces at work behind the guise of governance and the clandestine multi-billion dollar trades on Wall Street.
