A Nation on the Brink of Ruin . and How to Bring It Back, David Stockman brings us an insider-turned-iconoclast's report on how 30 years of financial and political misrule by the Washington/Wall Street elites have brought the U.S. to the brink of ruin. He shows that the Fed's destructive ZIRP and QE policies have buried Flyover America in debt while clobbering it with shrinking real wages and vanishing job opportunities. At the same time, the bi-coastal elites have prospered mightily from the massive inflation of financial assets in the Wall Street casino and the debt-fueled expansion of Imperial Washington's domestic rackets and global interventions. Stockman argues that Donald Trump's improbable candidacy happened because Flyover America has had enough of a rigged system that benefits the few but has failed to deliver economic recovery and real prosperity at home and a safer and more stable world abroad. Stockman's book is no testimonial on behalf of Trump's candidacy, and contends that much of what he advocates is wrong-headed or downright reprehensible. But it does salute him as the rallying force for Main Street political insurrection because the existing regime of Bubble Finance on Wall Street and statist aggrandizement in Washington threatens incalculable harm. Stockman also argues that there remains a way forward. He suggests the "political outlaw" who considers himself to be the world's greatest dealmaker would need to "make ten great deals" to bring America back from the brink. These include a Peace Deal, a Jobs Deal, a Sound Money Deal, a Super Glass-Steagall Deal, A Liberty Deal and five more. " -- from the French-style extended inner front cover. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Stockman is the ultimate Washinton insider-turned-iconoclast. He began his career in Washington as a young man and quickly rose through the ranks of the Republican Party to become the director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan. After leaving the White House, Stockman had a 20-year career on Wall Street. He has a reputation for zesty financial straight talk that defies right - and left-wing boxes while cataloguing both as corrupters of sound money, fiscal rectitude and free markes. He's the editor of David Stockman's Contra Corner, a subscription-based daily news and commentary service, and Bubble Finance Trader, a premium financial research publication. Stockman was born in Fort Hood, Texas. He received his B.A. from Michigan State University and pursued graduate studies at Harvard Divinity School.
