Praise for Leverage "Karl Denninger is a brilliant economist and someone whose opinions I respect and highly value.Leverage is a remarkable work that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to truly grasp the principles that drive our current economy and the breakdowns that occur when the fundamental mathematical laws governing economies are ignored or obfuscated. Karl has taken a complex macroeconomic system and masterfully pared it down to its essence. Leverage presents this information in an elegantly simple manner that the average high school student would understand, and provides a realistic plan for eliminating the mechanisms that have caused the 'boom and bust' cycles and over-leveraging that have plagued our economy for decades."-Adrian Wyllie, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida and syndicated talk radio host "Karl is something of a rarity in our politics-a Tea Party conservative who believes in strong and effective regulation as a mechanism towards reducing excessive leverage in our economy. He spares no one in this discussion of a financial services industry that colluded with the government to rip off Americans by convincing them that home prices could never decline and that home equity was an ATM. Undergirding all of this was leverage, a useful tool that can become a poison if ingested wrongly or in unwise amounts. Leverage infects our medical system, educational system, and government. I don't agree with everything Karl says. I am after all a liberal, and he is not. But he provides a clear explanation of what is wrong with our economic and political order, and how to fix it."-Matt Stoller, American political activist and writer "Karl Denninger of The Market Ticker(r) has been a prophetic voice crying in the wilderness, repeatedly warning the world of the dangers of excessive debt. In Leverage, he provides a cogent analysis of the current economic crisis as well as a set of drastic policy prescriptions that may be the U.S. economy's only chance for eventual recovery."-Vox Day, author of The Return of the Great Depression "In 2007, our once lucrative business was collapsing. The harder we worked, the more difficult it became to afford even a modest standard of living. Out of a desperate need for answers, I started researching and that research led me to Karl Denninger's Market Ticker. As a quintessential Jane Six Pack, I knew only the basics of economics and the financial sense my accountant father had instilled in me. What I have learned from Karl over the past four years has changed my family's life, and I credit Karl for saving us from the financial ruin that has devastated many of our friends and extended family. Thankfully, Karl has simplified and condensed all this knowledge and information into one, easy-to-read book; so it won't take you as long as it took me to understand the scope of what we face and how to protect yourself and the people you love. Leverage is both frightening in its reality and hopeful in that it gives us the tools to change our future. Leverage should be in every classroom in America."-Stephanie Jasky, founder, FedUpUSA.org
How the wealthy and powerful abuse finance to skim immense profits Debasement of the dollar as a result of ill-use of leverage is destroying the global economy, and in Leverage, well known market commentator Karl Denninger follows the path of money throughout history to prove that currencies are debased when moneyed and powerful interests pull the levers of government and policy to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. The result is ugly: the value of everything--including gold--falls, and even personal safety is at risk in a world where there is limited money even for essentials like food and fuel. History is littered with the collapse of monetary and economic systems from Rome to Germany to Zimbabwe. * Presents an inside look at how moneyed and powerful interests debase the dollar through the willful and intentional failure to honestly represent short and long-term mathematical truths that underlie all economic systems * Shows how, if imbalances are not corrected, financial crises will reoccur again and again * Authored by Karl Denninger, who has been running the popular website The Market Ticker since 2007
