| This is a great book about the origins our our current financial straits. It's not a light read but compelling and thought provoking to be sure.
It details America's rise as global financial hegemon and offers predictions about what the future of the global economy will look like. Phillips offers four predictions for the future of the world economy namely that (1) Asia will dominate the global economy by 2030 (2) China will be the dominant player within Asia (3) Some city with a ...

| Not to much else to say. It's an excuse for marginalization and mistreatment of a particular people. Vote for my comment if you've read it and agree.
Five stars because it's a must read if you want to understand hate speech using big words. |

| This book has been a slow read due to the author's disorganized writing and liberal use of big words for no apparent reason. It's typical of him to mention some phenomenon and then say, but we'll get back to that later. Or he'll say, we've already covered most of this in chapter 4 and table 2.1 but let me add... It's a total mess.
That said, the concepts are interesting, and I think Obama's popularity is a sign that most Americans are getting tired of footing the bill for the mistakes of the wealthy. ... Read More: |

| I feel like a complete IDIOT (especially since I hold a degree in Political Science from a top-20 college, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) for having fallen so hard and fast for the Bush clan.
Well...let's be fair...I like the wives. This is a riveting piece which gives so much context and specificity to WHY the 90's turned out the way they did. Especially in the case of "W", we see fully fleshed-out as in the Oliver Stone film that desire to at all costs please Daddy. We see the lies (which the ... Read More: |

| This is a good read on a great President, cut short, but then overshadowed by TR. You'll be amazed at what comes out of his Presidency. We tend to favor war Presidents in history, but there is so much more!!! |

|
| Phillips wrote this book in 1990.This allows a reader to compare it with later books that dealt with the same problem ,such as " Boiling Point " in 1993 and " Arrogant Capital " in 1994.The first point that Phillips demonstrates overwhelmingly was that the Reagan tax cuts were primarily aimed at increasing the wealth and political power of the Wall Street speculators and investment banks like Bear Stearns,Merrill Lynch,Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley,Lehman Brothers,J.P. Morgan,Credit Suisse,Deutsche Bank,etc. This was possible because ... Read More: |

| For those getting into Lightwave, or those like me who have been away for a few upgrades, this book with accompanying cd is a lifesaver. It delves way into things but in a way that does not leave the novice behind. Lightwave should offer a copy with each sale, it would help a lot. Thanks to the authors who are not professional bookmongers, but are experienced users, this book does its job and does it with style! |

| This is an amazing book, written, not by a formal scholar, but someone who made history himself, through his political activism for the Republican party in the late 60s. Kevin Phillips has clearly developed intellectually since then. Reading this book, and especially his subsequent "American Theocracy", makes me wonder whether he now understands the words of Ecclesiastes, "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity".
There is an absolute wealth of detail in this book, covering both Britain and America from 1640-1865, which demonstrates that the US History ... Read More: |

| Phillips's book get closer to identifying what the core problem facing the USA is than he did in his earlier "Boiing Point".The problem has been building ever since President Jimmy Carter embarked on his ill advised decision to deregulate and privatize the financial sector of the economy.This simply let the speculative genie out of the bottle.It will be very difficult to rein him in.Phillips correctly goes to the heart of the matter in his recommendation number 7, presented on pp.201-204. "During the 1980's and early 1990's the Fed emerged as a reliable ally ... Read More: |

| This book, I think, does a lot of fantastic review for the ACT. Previous reviewers have complained that there's too much information contained - how is that even possible? If you want to be prepared for the ACT, you want to be PREPARED - this book will help you be so. It is largely thanks to this book that I received a 35 on my ACT. Need I really say more? |
