Product Description

"America's debt is a powder keg about to blow, and the fuse was lit by the rush of bailouts and stimulus spending."

Is your money inflation-proof? It had better be. On the heels of the most recent economic crisis, America is headed toward another: high inflation and dollar devaluation.

Charles Goyette reveals the governmental errors that led to the current economic crisis and the bumpy road ahead. The signs are clear: Federal debt is compounding while growth has stalled, and America's foreign creditors are questioning the dollar's reserve currency status. Meanwhile, the "hidden" federal debt, much larger than the official debt, makes things even worse.

So what can you do to safeguard your assets when the dollar heads south? This book is the essential guide for protecting yourself--and even profiting--in this time of financial turbulence. In clear detail, Goyette explains the alternative investments--from gold and silver to oil and agriculture-- that will remain strong in the face of mounting inflation. The Dollar Meltdown gives you the tools to maintain the value of your savings and captilize on the coming opportunities.

Don't get left holding the bag after decades of government irresponsibility. The Dollar Meltdown shows you how to take the safety of your finances into your own hands.

Customer Reviews

Not just another book of impending doom, but one of solutions
Charles Goyette is not just another doomsayer. He has a number of strategies based on unconventional financial instruments so that a well-heeled reader can preserve his hard-earned cash.

It's really hard to imagine a crumbling America, but the signs of dollar decay are frankly staring right at us. Being myopic is not the way to survive; being open to new ideas most certainly is the means to survive, perhaps even thrive in economic disaster.

At the very least please read this book with an open mind; certainly be skeptical of his conclusions, but please BE RECEPTIVE TO ALTERNATE FINANCIAL STRATEGIES. We Americans are treading in treacherous waters. We have never been this deeply in debt; we have never been so bereft of hope.

Politicians seem intent on bail-outs of banks, even auto manufacturers. No one is going to bail YOU out. Read this book; it may be the only parachute available for less than twenty bucks.

I am not ordinarily a Gloomy Gus, but I am a realist. I am sixty years old and have worked hard all my life. It's shocking how my investemnts have shrunk. This dog needs to learn new tricks, too. "The Dollar Meltdown" is a good place to start.

Interesting times...

Where We Are, How We Got Here, What Happens Next, What To Do-- these are the four sections of this book.

Think of Goyette as the anti-Greenspan: someone who can take a complicated subject and explicate it in such a way that you can actually understand it. If you want to be able to answer the four questions that constitute the sections mentioned above: Read this book!

The incredible surge in precious metals (and other commodities) is perfectly understandable when you understand the dynamics at work. Explaining the dynamics of the markets is one of the tasks of this book-- it succeeds.

This book is not a dry recitation of economic statistics. Statistics in themselves don't tell you much without a framework, a context, to view them from. What makes this book so fascinating is that is combines an reiteration of WHAT happened with WHY it happened. A nice blend of theory and practice.

If you want to protect yourself and family from the irresponsibility of the political classes and the Banksters, then you will find plenty of strategies in this book that will lessen the pain that we will all feel as we make our way through this depression.

Did I mention that it's well written? People who know Goyette through his work in talk radio in Phoenix are very familiar with his intellectual skills. I'm happy to report that he writes as well as he speaks. Nice work.

Excellent Guidance


Charles Goyette is a long-time radio talk show host who is honest and free of dogma. The same can be said for this book. His advice is obviously correct, given that the price of gold is up 98-percent in the last 12 months.

Like most people in this country, I liked the feeling of a booming economy and have trouble facing the reality of the recession. But Charles is a good guide for what is, not for what was.
