When Giants Fall: An Economic Roadmap for the End of the American Era
In When Giants Fall, Panzner makes his case for the turbulent economic
changes that will be occurring over the next few years and examines the resulting economic
opportunities.
According to Panzner, the economic changes will be widespread. 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.
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.
