Reactions to Robert Wiedemer's book, AFTERSHOCK:
On Amazon.com, a reader from Houston said this about the book:
"I find this to be the most complete and comprehensive analysis of America's ongoing economic problems that I have thus far encountered. In addition: the reasoned deductions which the authors draw from their analyses are far ranging and logical; and, for the most part, the conclusions which they reach are well justified and difficult to dispute. So, if you are looking for a book that will give you some valuable insight into what is happening to the U.S. economy today, and why; which explains how the ultimate collapse of that economy and the U.S. dollar will take place; and which forecasts what the United States and the world at large will be like following that calamity, then this is certainly a book which you should read."
And The Wall Street Journal, where AFTERSHOCK was also a best-seller, had this to say:
"As bitter as it is, Aftershock's message -- that America has yet to pay its bills -- deserves an audience. After all the authors were right once before." (Wall Street Journal MarketBeat)
