It is six years since Financial Reckoning Day was first published. At the time, many critics felt the authors were overly critical of the United States increasing debt and the start of what seemed to be foreshadowing of economic concerns. Now, in 2009, much of what the authors predicted has come true–high unemployment rates in the US, record setting foreclosures and bankruptcies along with the near global collapse of the financial institutions once thought to be so secure. Maverick investment writers Addison Wiggin and Bill Bonner bring readers even more down-to-earth wisdom in this updated edition. It reveals that the hazards of democratic consumer capitalism and the financial follies of history are not a thing of the past. Bonner and Wiggin remain astute observers of the global financial arena. Most recently, Wiggin was executive producer of IOUSA, an award winning documentary about the credit woes in the US.
