توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
آمریکایی ها به طور کلی خود را به عنوان افراد منطقی محتاط و هوشیار در مورد پول در نظر می گیرند و ریشه های پوریتانی اولین شهرک نشینان اروپایی را منعکس می کنند. با این حال ، ما همچنین به نظر می رسد که ما معتقدیم که ما به یک سبک زندگی که به خوبی از درآمد فعلی ما برخوردار است ، تمایل داریم ، گراندی که به اولین روزهای ایالات متحده و به ویژه برای بدست آوردن تجربیات غنی سریع از سال 1840 تا انتظار حباب املاک و مستغلات در اوایل قرن بیست و یکم باز می گردد. جهان "Deflated" به سادگی غیر واقعی است. این به طرز ماهرانه ای به دنبال داستان ، تورم پول و بدهی های عمومی به عنوان ویژگی های ماندگار (و شاید دوست داشتنی) زندگی آمریکایی است ، نه چیزی که می توانیم یک روز بر آن غلبه کنیم زیرا سیاست گذاران ما به طور مداوم قول می دهند. نسل آمریکایی ها
نتیجه تدریجی وضعیتی که خودمان در آن می یابیم به ناچار منجر به تورم ، از دست دادن فرصت اقتصادی و کاهش ارزش دلار می شود. این کتاب به شما نشان می دهد که چرا ، و نشان می دهد که چگونه ممکن است بتوانیم با آن مقابله کنیم.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
Americans as a whole view themselves as reasonably prudent and sober people when it comes to matters of money, reflecting the puritan roots of the earliest European settlers. Yet as a community, we also seem to believe that we are entitled to a lifestyle that is well-beyond our current income, a tendency that goes back to the earliest days of the United States and particularly to get rich quick experiences ranging from the Gold Rush of the 1840s to the real estate bubble of the early 21st Century."Inflated" examines this apparent conflict and makes the argument that such a world view is so ingrained in us that to expect the United States to live in a "deflated" world is simply unrealistic. It skillfully seeks to tell the story of, money inflation and public debt as enduring (and perhaps endearing) features of American life, rather than something we can one day overcome as our policy makers constantly promise.Features interviews with today's top financial industry leaders and insiders.Offer a glimpse into the future of the Federal Reserve and the role it will play in the coming yearsExamines what the future may hold for the value of the U.S. dollar and the real incomes of future generations of Americans
The gradual result of the situation we find ourselves in will inevitably lead to inflation, loss of economic opportunity, and a decline in the value of the dollar. This book will show you why, and reveal how we might be able to deal with it.
