Klappentext BARBARIANS of WEALTH PROTECTING YOURSELF from TODAY'S FINANCIAL ATTILAS Vicious barbaric tribes fill the dark places in our history. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Huns (lead by Attila), the Vikings, and the Mongols invaded Europe, plundering churches and destroying homes. But, they didn't just steal and destroy property; they also stripped innocent people of hope and prosperity. What's worse, the barbarians of the Dark Ages forged their path of destruction not out of any deeply held religious or political beliefs, but, rather, for the oldest reason in the book?their own personal financial gain. Unfortunately, some things never change. Barbarians of Wealth draws comparisons between the plundering barbarians of the Dark Ages and modern-day financial barbarians?the major Wall Street institutions such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, CitiGroup, AIG, and a host of others, including credit rating agencies such as Moody's, Standard and Poor's, and Fitch. With a keen historical perspective, the authors show how the reckless decisions of these firms along with individuals such as Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Chris Dodd, Tom Delay, and Jack Abramoff severely crippled the financial prosperity of the American public, and how, in many ways, their actions are no different than the uncivilized barbarians of the Dark Ages. Today's barbarians of wealth are just as ruthless, and the stakes are just as high: the economic foundation of our society. Understanding these barbarians?both from the Dark Ages and today's barbarians of wealth?gets you one step closer to regaining your financial freedom. Barbarians of Wealth provides you with specific strategies to protect your financial future and win back what has already been stolen from you. Learn these strategies and put them in place sooner rather than later! Barbarians of Wealth is a timely must-read for hard-working Americans who want to reclaim their prosperity, as well as for those fascinated with the inner workings of Washington and Wall Street. Zusammenfassung How the actions of a few in Europe destroyed the prosperity of the many (and how it's happening again now in America) After the fall of the Roman Empire, vicious barbaric tribes including the Hunds lead by Atilla, the Mongols, Charlemagne and the Vikings invaded Europe, plundering property and destroying homes.
