Product Description:
The economic tipping point for the United States is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. The country has gone from the world's largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar is sinking; domestic manufacturing is winding down - and these trends don't seem to be slowing. Peter Schiff casts a sharp, clear-sighted eye on these factors and explains what the possible effects may be and how investors can protect themselves. For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but also helped his clients reposition their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt, too-little savings, a declining dollar, and lack of domestic manufacturing.
Crash-Proof is an informed and informative warning of a looming period marked by sizeable tax hikes, loss of retirement benefits, double digit inflation, even - as happened recently in Argentina - the possible collapse of the middle class. However, Schiff does have a survival plan that can provide the protection that readers will need in the coming years.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Prophetic insights
Schiff predicts in 2006 the financial chaos in we've seen since 2008. His makes-sense explanations hit home!!
Rating: - It's 2009 and this book has been right so far...
Reading this book now (January 2009) is like watching a horror movie and seeing yourself in it about to be attacked.
Schiff does a great job explaining the causes for our current situation, and laying out why there WILL be a crash and a complete devaluation of the dollar within the next few years. The government may be able to slow the process down, but his big prediction is that a recession will eventually combine with hyperinflation to cause the economy to collapse. The inflation ...

Rating:  - Proceed with caution!
As I write this in the first few days of 2009, it has become obvious that we are in for a long, nasty recession. In fact, more and more people are predicting Great Depression 2.0.
In his book "Crash Proof," Peter Schiff presents many interesing ideas about what is to come and the book itself is certainly an interesting read.
However, there are many ways that this situation could play out and the book presents only one of them.
In fact, at this point in time ... Read More
Rating: - We're Busted!
Peter Schiff is to "Crash Proof" as Joel Rosenberg is to Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future. Both are clear, concise and high accurate.
Others have eloquently set forth the crux of the author's book. Crash Proof was one of the stellar books of the many books I read in 2008--and the heavy highlighting of the book and my frequent use of it, proves its worth. Like many others, I am not an economic whiz, I quickly back-pedaled out of college economics ... Read More
Rating: - Scary
We heard about "Doctor Doom" on BNN and finally became convinced we needed to know more about what this man was saying. The scary part is that Peter saw this global economic collapse coming when he wrote "Crash Proof" in 2006. He is no "seer". His logic and rationale for what he says makes absolute sense and is proving to be spot-on. We have closely followed his advice in attempting to crash proof our own portfolio and will continue to do so. Thanks, Peter. Best book we've read in a long time.
