after reading your fine reporting on the current conditions of our economy. i fine it amazing that you would endorse the buying of anything as discretionary as a book. 400.00 would buy a lot of gold or feed the family for at least a few weeks. i would ask that if you are serious about helping the less fortunate. those of us who can’t afford trips to germany to paint windows. some real advice to save. and possiblly earn. there are enough pick pockets around to last my lifetime

I respect your Financial opinons, however when I read the part about this Publishing Company printing 29 volumes of Darwin’s Theory, I thought ,”Why would this Publishing Company go through the trouble of Publishing a work that has long sense been Scientifically shown to be Incorrect. So now I question how much I would learn from these other Books. Sorry, you had me until you shared that part.

My Grandfather went short in the 29 crash and became rich. He folded up his law practice on Wall Street and moved to Calif. to be near his daughter my mother. Here he indulged his wish to build small houses and to play the real estate game. Bought REO’s from Bank of America and led the good life.
His advice, play away from the market, stay responsible for all your acts and do most financing within house…I believe…

You guys (Daily Reckoning) have often made the case that (fiat) money is the problem. But I haven’t seen you make that argument in a while. I have a feeling that the present crisis, while it has all the makings of another bubble unravelling is not your typical example. I think at the heart of the problem is the fundamental tendency to confuse money and wealth and that the old system that has served the West well for the last two centuries or so has finally reached its sell-by date. Economists on the whole tend to be clever rather than wise. What we need now is more wisdom, and less cleverness.
