Businesses will struggle amid wars, shortages, logistical disruptions, and a breakdown of the established monetary order. Individuals will be forced to rethink livelihoods, lifestyles, living arrangements, and locales. Political structures will be in flux, as local leaders gain influence at the expense of national authorities. For many people, it will be nothing short of a modern Dark Ages, where each day brings fresh anxieties, unfamiliar risks, and a sense of foreboding.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e However, for those enlightened few who understand what is really going on and what happens next, the chaotic years ahead represent the opportunity of a lifetime - a time when they can realize goals they never thought possible and achieve a level of wealth, security, and inner peace that will leave them head-and-shoulders above everyone else. In this book, Panzner offers cutting-edge insights and strategies that will enable readers to stay well ahead of the game during the uniquely unsettling period ahead.  \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I: Fault Lines of a Fading Empire 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Descent into Disorder 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Tides, Torrents, and Tsunamis 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: A Future of Violence 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Money Talks 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Local Is the New Global 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Multiplying Divisions 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II: Opportunities and Threats 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Everybody’s Business 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Small Fortunes 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: The Power of One 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author 253\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 255\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael J.
