The Real Crash
America's Coming Bankruptcy. How to Save Yourself and Your Country
Bestselling financial author and economist Schiff warns of the inevitable bankruptcy facing America and lays out not only how the U.S. got here, but what our government can do about it.
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.

The book offers the comprehensive picture of the academic entrepreneurship phenomenon in the Visegrad countries perspective and it is an insightful read for university managers responsible for the development of the academic entrepreneurship.

The survey was an important part of the project “Cross-border Bees in V4 Countries - Building of Educational Entrepreneurship Start-ups in V4 Group” granted by the International Visegrad Fund for 2016-2017 (project no. 11610602).

Důkaz pádu. Jak vydělat na hospodářském kolapsu. „Kniha, která předpověděla finanční krizi.“ I tak by se dala nazvat publikace, kterou právě držíte v rukou. Ačkoliv u nás vychází až v době, kdy se krize dotýká nás všech, v originále se kniha na trhu objevila v časech, které můžeme nazvat prosperitou. Rozhodně si ale nemyslete, že je tedy tato kniha už zastaralá. Vůbec ne. Připravte se ovšem na trochu znepokojující čtení. Už od prvních řádek knihy zjistíte, že autoři moc dobře vědí, o čem píší. Budete donuceni se na celkem známé skutečnosti podívat z jiného úhlu pohledu. Dozvíte se například: - co ve skutečnosti znamená přebytek kapitálu, - jaký je skutečný vztah mezi inflací a ekonomickým růstem, - proč se americký dolar znehodnocuje a podle autorů se bude dále znehodnocovat, - zajímavosti o měření HDP - i o hrozbě spotřebitelského dluhu. Spolu s autory můžete přemýšlet také o možném řešení. To celkové, na národních úrovních, závisí především na vládě, a prý bude bolestivé. Vy se tomu ale můžete alespoň částečně vyhnout a zároveň prosperovat i v této nepříznivé době – stačí nechat se inspirovat druhou částí knihy, která obsahuje základní rady, jak nakládat se svými financemi, kde a do čeho investovat.
