My rating doesn't really reflect how much I loved this book. (I just don't want anyone to be influenced into reading it.) It was one of my first books about the economy and oh! it made me excited. Obviously, we didn't go bankrupt in 1995, but I did learn lots about the social security crisis and other wonderful economic problems that haven't gone away. I had to put this book on my list, it's me. Sick, huh?

It did not happen. There was no bankruptcy in 1995. Although I read the entire book as an alarm call about the federal deficit.

It's interesting to note that most of the disastrous forecasts issued relative to the deficit spending of our nation by Harry E. Figgie, Jr. in this book have come to pass. It's not surprising though, as once you give people a free lunch, it's hard to take it away.
