A New York Times bestseller                                                                                                     

“Charles Morris, author of The Trillion Dollar Meltdown, isn't one for sugarcoating. His analysis is dour and grim, but certainly not dull. And when read against a backdrop of an ever-weaker economy, increasingly anxious economists and a stream of gloomy predictions, it can be downright scary….Morris serves up a sharp, thought-provoking historical wrap-up of the U.S. economy and its markets, along with clear scrutiny of today's economic woes.”—USA Today

"[A] shrewd primer… [Morris] writes with tight clarity and blistering pace."—James Pressley, Bloomberg News
