This book is just old enough to be really interesting to read. The things he does predict right on and the things he misses entirely. He gets the rise in oil dead on, but missed entirely the housing collapse. In fact, he says the housing collapse can’t happen because it would collapse everything. Well, it probably has.

I also don’t think much of his “investment” advice, mostly because I think we should invest in what we do, in our families and communities, in being productive in our lives, not in trying to live off the efforts of someone else. But very little of the book is that.

Anyway, it is definitely worth reading, but don’t expect really good writing or really useful advice, just some good points to add to your own thoughts on the world situation.
