Customer Reviews

Buchholz should be on the fed!

Buchholz is truly an economic prophet, and he brings wit to the table as well. I thought this book, in addition to his previous masterpieces, was a wonderful, informative, helpful, entertaining read. Well done, Buchholz!

Can you believe, an economics page turner!

We all see the changes that are taking place around us (such as the graying of America). This book takes those changes and puts them into perspective with actionable information. I kept slapping my forehead and saying, "I know this, why didn't I see where it leads?" Buchholz makes sense out of our everyday observations and puts them into economic context.

Insightful and prophetic told with humor and intelligence

A rare book on the economy that is actually interesting and fun to read. Buchholz has taken a very clever approach to making his point (with mini-novellas) that are both insightful and well researched. And humourous. Raises some serious concerns about the not too distant future that we should all be looking at as we contemplate our next investment.

Excellent purchase for novice investor.

This is an excellent book for a novice investor. It offers timely advice n a witty and informative manner. I would certainly recommend it.

GREAT

This book was most entertaining and informative on investing I have seen.Mr. Buchholz weaves the facts, stories and forecasts seamlessly and with great wit. The author discusses everything from the future of the internet to the future of China to the blow up of mutual funds. I would recommend prompt reading of this book whether you are at home, on an airplane or on a train.
