You might be thinking everythings okay: the stock market is on the rise, jobs are growing, the worst of it is over.

Youd be wrong.

In The Real Crash, New York Times bestselling author Peter D. Schiff argues that America is enjoying a government-inflated bubble, one that reality will explode . . . with disastrous consequences for the economy and for each of us. Schiff demonstrates how the infusion of billions of dollars of stimulus money has only dug a deeper hole: the United States government simply spends too much and does not collect enough money to pay its debts, and in the end, Americans from all walks of life will face a crushing consequence.

Were in hock to China, we cant afford the homes we own, and the entire premise of our currency---backed by the full faith and credit of the United States---is false. Our system is broken, Schiff says, and there are only two paths forward. The one were on now leads to a currency and sovereign debt crisis that will utterly destroy our economy and impoverish the vast majority of our citizens.

However, if we change course, the road ahead will be a bit rockier at first, but the final destination will be far more appealing. If we want to avoid complete collapse, we must drastically reduce government spending---eliminate entire agencies, end costly foreign military escapades and focus only on national defense---and stop student loan or mortgage interest deductions, as well as drug wars and bank-and-business bailouts. We must also do what no politician or pundit has proposed: America should declare bankruptcy, restructure its debts, and reform our system from the ground up.

Persuasively argued and provocative, The Real Crash explains how we got into this mess, how we might get out of it, and what happens if we dont. And, with wisdom born from having predicted the Crash of 2008, Peter Schiff explains how to protect yourself, your family, your money, and your country against what he predicts.

Additional Praise for The Real Crash

Americas political leaders should have taken Peters 2007 book, Crash Proof, to heart before they tried to borrow, print, and bail us out of trouble. Today, theyalong with all Americansabsolutely must take heed of The Real Crash. Peter Schiff understands the marketplace, and he understands the consequences that occur when government attempts to manage that marketplace. Pay attention, America!

Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico and presidential candidate

Peter Schiff has been painfully right about the downward spiral of the U.S. economy over the last four years. Easy money, rising tax rates, and unbridled debt are a prescription for economic disaster. Lets hope Barack Obama reads this.

Stephen Moore, economist and Fox News commentator

While many of us have justifiably focused on how high taxes are economically corrosive, Peter Schiff does a great job of explaining why government spending and debt are even worse. As we continue grappling with the monster of a runaway federal government, this book is one of the best assets conservatives can turn to in making the case for fiscal responsibility and capitalism.

Grover Glenn Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform

Peter Schiff was one of the few pundits who predicted correctly the 2008 economic and financial collapse. Now, he makes a compelling case in a highly readable book that the day will come when the world stops trusting the dollar and the ability of the U.S. government to pay its debts. I agree with him that Then well get the real crash.

Marc Faber, editor, the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report

You need to know his casewhether he is right or notif you are going to be prepared for this decade.

Jim Rogers, investor and bestselling author of A Gift to My Children and Investment Biker

Although there were many people and groups that I had considered for this - photo 1

Although there were many people and groups that I had considered for this dedication, I feel compelled to risk redundancy and once again credit my father, Irwin Schiff. As I re-read the material, the echo of his voice clearly resonates throughout. It would be disingenuous to avoid the fact that no single individual had a greater influence on the development of this material. Unfortunately, as a quasi political prisoner, he cant speak for himself. Im happy to be able to do it for him. Hopefully his courage and idealism will play a part in restoring the American spirit that once beckoned people like my grandparents to come to these shores in the first place, so that my son, Spencer, his generation, and those that follow might also enjoy the blessings of liberty.

Introduction

I GUESS YOU WERE RIGHT about the crash, Peter.

I hear that a lot, in reference to my 2007 book, Crash Proof, where I predicted an economic catastrophe in the United States. Since late 2008, when the housing market had collapsed and major banks went to the brink of failure, whenever people credit me with calling the crash, it pains me to tell them that what they saw in 2008 and 2009 wasnt the crashthat was a tremor before the earthquake.

The real crash is still coming.

Just as the housing bubble delayed the economic collapse for much of the last decade on the strength of imaginary wealth, today twin bubbles in the U.S. dollar and Treasury bills and bonds are providing a similar prop. But the day will come when the rest of the world stops trusting Americas currency and our credit. Then well get the real crash.

During my run for Senate in 2010, I constantly encountered politicians and journalists who blamed the current economic troubles on capitalism and free markets, arguing that more government was needed. When the bigger crash comes, the attacks on capitalism will become louder, and the proposed government interventions will become even more extreme. This makes sensepoliticians want more power, and they know that crises and panics are the best opportunities to get people to surrender their freedom for the promise of security. Thats what Rahm Emanuel meant when he said, after the 2008 election, You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.

But the government was a chief architect of the mess that were in, and every day, government is making it worse.

I invest for a living. I look for where other people are making mistakes. I look for companies or commodities that are mis-valued by the market, and I study who is investing where. Its glaring that American companies are still not making capital investments. American familiesafter a brief period of paying down debt and increasing savingsare borrowing more than theyre saving.

Just as in 2008, we have too much consumption and borrowing, and too little production and saving. Since the depths of the economic downturn in early 2009, most of the wealth weve created hasonce againbeen imaginary.

Real estate is still grossly overpriced. Most stocks are still overpriced as valuations are based on earnings and artificially low interest rates and both are unsustainable. Companies that are hiring are probably making mistakes they will soon regret. The fundamentals of the economy are not soundnot even close.
