Average Rating:
Rating: 
- Poorly written
The author is very arrogant, self centered, and thinks he is the only person in this country knowledgeable of the world economics.
Rating: - Leeb's Thesis
Not the first time that Dr. Leeb has expounded this idea, but well researched and clearly explained. He is often correct in his market insights.

- Every ill in the world can be attributed to energy
I bought the audio book version and was only able to listen to about half of it.I couldn't finish it as it repeated itself constantly.
Basically what I have taken from the author is that every civilization and empire that has failed did so because of energy supply problems.Forget corruption, forget fiscal irresponsibility or anything else just chalk it up to energy supply issues.Conclusion is the collapse of the American Empire will be the result of energy supply issues.

Rating: - Some good advice, but need more analysis

In light of the current financial crisis, some of the author's ... Read More
Rating: - Maybe or Not
I wish he saw the credit market collapse and subsequent bailout. I'm off topic, i know, sorry. Regarding oil, hind sight is 20-20. After reading the book i in summer '07 i went off to my CFA and got this take:oil prices are being fueled by speculators, in inflation adjusted numbers it's still less (even at $100 plus) then the spikes in the early 80's, Not to worry the price will come done. Now with oil at 90 plus (10/08), my CFA has proven correct at least in the short term.
