William Bonner & Addison Wiggin 
Financial Reckoning Day 
Surviving the Soft Depression of the 21st Century

‘History shows that people who save and invest grow and prosper,
and the others deteriorate and collapse.

As Financial Reckoning Day demonstrates, artificially
low interest rates and rapid credit creation policies set by Alan
Greenspan and the Federal Reserve caused the bubble in U.S. stocks
of the late ’90s. . . . Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are
making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market
bubble to a consumption and housing bubble.

And when those bubbles burst, it’s going to be worse than the stock
market bubble . . .

No one, of course, wants to hear it. They want the quick fix. They
want to buy the stock and watch it go up twenty-five percent
because that’s what happened last year, and that’s what they say on
TV.’

–Jim Rogers, author of the bestseller Adventure
Capitalist

from the Foreword to Financial Reckoning Day

Advanced praise from bestselling authors

‘An investment book that will not only enlarge your investment
horizon, but also make you laugh and thoroughly entertain you for a
few hours.’

–Dr. Marc Faber, author of the bestseller Tomorrow’s
Gold

‘Financial Reckoning Day is . . . in the category of
scintillating sex or good vision, something to be savored and
enjoyed-before it is too late.’

–James Dale Davidson, author of the bestseller The Great
Reckoning and The Sovereign Individual

‘A powerful and insightful vision . . . each paragraph
stimulates a new rush of thoughts that fills in gaping holes in the
investor’s understanding of what has happened to their dreams . . .
while prepping them to confront any new confusion that may
arrive.’

–Martin D. Weiss, author of the bestseller Crash
Profits
