The Second Great Depression
This is a frightening book. It shows how massive consumer debt triggered this second depression, which started in 2007/2008.
The exuberance of the overheated stock market of the 90s caused consumers to stop saving and go into debt. Then, the dramatic drop in mortgage rates enabled people to refinance their homes and go even further into debt. People were no longer living on what they could afford; instead they were living the lifestyle they thought they deserved, costs be damned!
With payments increasing, savings rates near zero, and debt at its maximum; many people were pushed over their debt limit, having homes foreclosed or going into bankruptcy. Others are heeding the warnings and reducing spending, causing a dramatic slowing of the economy.
To survive this depression, savings should be in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and the stock market should only be reentered after it drops 68% from its early 2008 level. Included charts show required savings for retirement in this environment.
In this depression, the United States will be brought to its knees. But not unlike the mythical bird Phoenix that dies in flames and is then reborn out of its own ashes, the United States will also be reborn. However, it will be a poorer and less arrogant country that emerges from its own ashes.
“This is a book that anyone – young, old or anywhere in between – should read and study. It is superbly researched and thoughtfully written. The first half of the book is a window into the future and the second half is an outstanding guideline for facing that future. This is the most important book I have read.”

In 1930 Fargo was a winner in a region where winning came hard. As the commercial center for the vast, sparsely settled Northern Plains, it grew even during the Depression, attracting hopeful entrepreneurs off the farm. In Going It Alone, historian David B. Danbom shows how the city struggled to survive problems it could not solve by itself. A critical complement to Depression histories focused on federal policies and programs, this study demonstrates how Washington’s initiatives for relief played out in a community of people born into a steadfast culture of self-sufficiency and independence.

Product Description
Prior to the stock market crash of 1929 American music still possessed a distinct tendency towards elitism, as songwriters and composers sought to avoid the mass appeal that critics scorned. During the Depression, however, radio came to dominate the other musical media of the time, and a new era of truly popular music was born. Under the guidance of the great Duke Ellington and a number of other talented and charismatic performers, swing music unified the public consciousness like no other musical form before or since. At the same time the enduring legacies of Woody Guthrie in folk, Aaron Copeland in classical, and George and Ira Gershwin on Broadway stand as a testament to the great diversity of tastes and interests that subsisted throughout the Great Depression, and play a part still in our lives today. The lives of these and many other great musicians come alive in this insightful study of the works, artists, and circumstances that contributed to making and performing the music that helped America through one of its most difficult times.
The American History through Music series examines the many different styles of music that have played a significant part in our nation’s history. While volumes in this series show the multifaceted roles of music in our culture, they also use music as a lens through which readers may study American social history. The authors present in-depth analysis of American musical genres, significant musicians, technological innovations, and the many connections between music and the realms of art, politics, and daily life.

Product Description
The credit crunch today is not destroying capital but recognising that capital was destroyed by misallocation in the years of irrational exuberance. If that is so, then we are entering a spiral of debt deflation that will play out slowly for years to come. To understand how that works, we turn to Professor Irving Fisher of Yale (1933).
