Endgame

Praise for Endgame This is an extremely powerful, sobering, well written and highly accessible book. It will demonstrate to you why there are no painless solutions to the mounting debt problems around the world-something that too many people are yet to realize. It will take you on a well-documented journey through the debt super cycle, making stops around the world and at critical junctures. And it is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand the global debt dynamics and ways to protect against its bad consequences. -Mohamed A. El-Erian, CEO, PIMCO; author of When Markets Collide No one has thought more creatively about the economy. Mauldin's weekly newsletter is a must-read and his book is even more important if you want to understand a rapidly changing world. -Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Successful investors explore all possibilities. You should read this book so you can succeed in case the Endgame is our future. -Jim Rogers, author of A Gift to My Children I read everything John Mauldin writes. He travels the world and shares his financial stories like a good friend sharing a drink. Mauldin is that rarity-a skeptical optimist-who calls 'em straight and rewards his clients and fans. -Rich Karlgaard, Publisher and Columnist, Forbes magazine Greece is a basket case, Ireland on life support, and Japan a bug in search of a windshield. In the times ahead, the global sovereign debt and credit crisis will continue to spread like wildfire.
