He is the author of two other Wiley bestsellers, including \u003ci\u003eThe Ultimate Safe Money Guide: How Everyone 50 and Over Can Protect, Save, and Grow Their Money\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCrash Profits: Make Money When Stocks Sink and Soar\u003c\/i\u003e.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnless you're a Wall Street banker or a Fortune 500 CEO, times are tough—tougher than they've been in eighty years. But take heart, you can survive and thrive in a global economic meltdown. And you don't need a Ph.D. in economics or a crystal ball. All you need is your own good common sense, plus the knowledge and tools this book gives you to help you protect your assets, boost your income, and build wealth even in the worst of times. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelping folks persevere through hard times is a Weiss family tradition. J. Irving Weiss, author Martin D. Weiss's father, was a legendary economist and financial advisor who accurately predicted the Great Depression and helped his grateful clients survive—and even thrive—in the worst of times. Likewise, Martin D. Weiss, founder and Chairman of the nation's leading, truly\u003ci\u003e independent\u003c\/i\u003e rating agency, has helped hundreds of thousands of investors and consumers avoid the financial dangers all around us. He not only predicted the recent debt crisis, but specifically named, well in advance, which large companies were most likely to fail, including Washington Mutual, Wachovia Bank, Fannie Mae, Lehman Brothers, General Motors and even Citigroup. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the U.S. government bailed out many of the failed companies. But in this book, Weiss shows how those bailouts have created new, even greater risks for investors—unexpected events ahead that you cannot only sidestep, but also turn to your great financial advantage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this extensively updated and expanded edition of his recent \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller, Martin Weiss offers the same rigorous analysis and spot-on advice with which he's served his clients and subscribers so well for so many years. In plain English, he provides up-to-the-minute coverage of the very latest events sweeping the U.S. and the globe—runaway public deficits, spreading sovereign debt disasters, and the desperate attempts by governments to prop up the world economy.
