No I sure haven't. Did you read them?

I haven't yet. I was just curious if they were worth reading. I was thinking of getting them from the library.

I would get them from the library, but not pay money for them. There is always someone writing a "next great depression" book and they've been doing it since the 70s at least. They often read like end times books by people who made the mistake of giving an actual date... in hindsight a little silly

This book has been widely read on another forum I belong too, I got it from the library myself.

Interesting, this morning on the news there was finally someone admitting that whether or not the nation was in a depression (yet), many households are already facing depression symptoms....with problems only looking worse, not better.
