The Breaking Point: Profit from the Coming Money Cataclysm

by James Dale Davidson, Bill Bonner (Foreword)

In a follow-up to his bestseller The Great Reckoning, in this new book, economic expert Davidson says we are on the cusp of great change — a breaking point — that will have vast implications for investors and wealth managers. Despite the fact that technology and mega political forces have created the biggest and most expensive governments the world has ever seen, Davidson predicts we are entering an era of the devolution of power which will paradoxically lead to an era of economic freedom. This provocative and wide-ranging book will explain this paradox and provide a roadmap investors can use to prosper despite the coming upheavals.

[Nuno Canha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Misleading subtitle

The title is misleading as it says "Profit from the coming money cataclysm" but it does not give indications or suggestions as to how to do it. It does mention on the final pages a quick passage about keeping gold in the context of a devaluation of the dolar.

Skimmed through most of the book as I agree with the premise and am aware of some of his points. The last two chapters were the interesting ones. In those he provides relatively vague conclusions as to the future. Because part of his premise is the future is something we don't really expect, there's no way for him to provide a well defined prediction
