" Mauldin and Tepper have written a truly important book on the economc situation facing the USA and most of the world. While filled with data, curves and forecsts, this book is readable and important for all concerned citizens. We, the US and the World, are on the brink of a major disaster, a disaster that can be controlled, if not prevented, by proper and careful political actions. The path the USA is on at present gives little hope for mitigation--let's pray for a new cadre of politicians who understand what is needed and implementthose actions. "
