Mix together a stock market that has grown more than ten fold in the last 20 years (Bubble 1) plus two decades of massive borrowing from foreign investors that has pumped up the value of the dollar (Bubble 2), and you have the recipe for an economic disaster. America's Bubble Economy forecasts the perfect storm of economic crises, when our already sagging dollar bubble finally collapses under the weight of the foreign exchange imbalance and the stock market bubble inevitably pops. Engaging and informative, America's Bubble Economy explains why this will almost certainly happen before 2010, how to be among the first to see it coming, and what can be done right now to protect your assets and position yourself to cash in on what will be the biggest transfer of wealth in history. Most importantly, America's Bubble Economy reveals the underlying evolutionary economic trends that have created this situation and how the problem can ultimately be solved.

Focuses on several simultaneous financial bubbles that are interacting to temporarily boost and ultimately threaten United States and world economies. Filled with analysis and straight talk, this book shows you how to turn coming economic transformation into a once-in-a-lifetime wealth-building opportunity.
