In this masterfully conceived and executed work, Michael Lewitt, one of Wall Street's most respected market strategists and money managers, updates his groundbreaking examination of the causes of the 2008 crisis and argues that economic and geopolitical conditions are even more unstable today. His analysis arrives in time for the impending economic and geopolitical debates of the 2016 election season. Lewitt explains in detail how debt has now overrun the world's capacity, how federal policies of the past few decades have created a downward vortex sapping growth and vitality from the American economy, and how greed and corruption are preventing reform. \u003cp\u003eThe financial crisis created tens of trillions of debt, leaving investors to pay a huge price for these policy failures:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe highest asset inflation we've seen in our lifetimes, although the government claims there isn't enough inflation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore than $2 trillion of stock buybacks funded with low cost debt that are artificially inflating stock prices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Federal Reserve and other global central banks becoming the largest buyers of government debt in order to suppress interest rates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn M\u0026amp;A boom resulting from companies needing to find growth outside of their core businesses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the financial media misses the story, Lewitt pulls no punches explaining how all of these trends are leading to the brink of another crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLewitt lays out a survival plan for the average investor to protect their assets when the debt bubble bursts.
