The Committee to Destroy the World
The Committee to Destroy the World is a passionate and informed analysis of the struggling global economy. This masterful book explains in detail how debt has now overrun the world's capacity, how federal policies of the past few decades have created a downward vortex sapping growth and vitality from the American economy, and how greed and corruption are preventing reform. This book urges investors to learn from the crushed hope and take action before the next crisis.
In this book, Michael Lewitt:
Details how all asset classes are grossly inflated in value―stocks, bonds, real estate, art, collectibles―and how to find and exploit the pockets of opportunity
Highlights the worst investments to hold now
Reveals the secret to investment success in a post-crisis global economy
Discusses the importance of formulating your own "alternative strategy"
Gives specific recommendations on the U.S. dollar, gold, equities, bonds, income-generating securities, emerging market investments, and more
