Just when you thought the dollar couldn't sink any further, it continues on a down-ward spiral. And now, with this fully revised and updated edition of The Demise of the Dollar, Addison Wiggin returns to reveal the many ways you can capitalize on this opportunity.

Picking up where the bestselling original edition left off, this engaging and entertaining book examines the many reasons behind the dollar's ongoing decline-including its structural flaws, the growing trade deficit, and the euro-and discusses the proper approaches to profiting from such a dynamic event. Along the way, you'll also discover how the dollar's slide will inevitably affect both world economies and your personal portfolio.

As the dollar continues to weaken, it has become clear that the impact is going to be significant as well as far reaching. The Demise of the Dollar. And Why It's Even Better for Your Investments will put this situation in perspective and provide you with the information needed to financially survive and thrive during the years ahead.
