说明
在这本备受赞誉的国际畅销书《美元危机:原因、后果、解决办法》的最新第二版中,Richard Duncan 描述了国际货币体系的缺陷,这些缺陷已经破坏了全球经济,并可能很快导致通货紧缩引发的全球经济衰退。
美元危机分为五个部分:
第一部分描述了美国贸易赤字(目前每分钟超过 100 万美元)如何通过制造全球信贷泡沫破坏了全球经济。
第二部分解释了为什么这些巨大的赤字无法持续,以及为什么美国经济衰退和美元价值崩溃是不可避免的。
第三部分分析了美国经济衰退和美元崩溃将对世界其他地区造成的极其有害的影响。
第四部分提出了原创建议,如果实施,将有助于减轻即将到来的全球经济衰退造成的损害,并为未来几十年平衡和可持续的经济增长奠定基础。
第五部分是第二版新增的部分,描述了自 2002 年 9 月第一版完成以来这场危机的非凡演变。它还考虑了美元危机在未来几年可能如何展开,可能对危机采取的政策反应,以及为什么这种反应无法成功。
美元本位本身存在缺陷,而且越来越不稳定。它的崩溃将成为 21 世纪最重要的经济事件。

评论
后人可能会记得《美元危机》是 21 世纪经济学领域的一本开创性著作。事实上,很少有一本书能对世界面临的当前经济形势提供如此严峻而又论证充分的观点。-- Steven Irvine,《金融亚洲》 Duncan 的写作就像一个已经预见到明天的人。-- James Grant,《格兰特的利率观察家》
我为大约 150 人举办了一堂课,讲授 Richard Duncan 所著的《美元危机》一书。如果您想更好地理解为什么房地产泡沫破灭和美元崩盘可能会导致长期衰退,您可能希望尽早阅读这本书。简而言之,我们确实没有房地产泡沫……世界正处于货币泡沫之中。换句话说,世界各国政府印制了太多“假”钱,现金很快就会变成垃圾。即使你没有从事房地产或正在储蓄美元,你也可能需要阅读这本书,以便在泡沫破裂之前找出你现在需要投资的东西。如果你从事股票和共同基金,你肯定想读这本书。——罗伯特·清崎,《富爸爸,穷爸爸》的作者
我希望我的每一个订阅者都能点击亚马逊网站,购买一本刚刚出版的新书,书名为《美元危机、原因、后果、解决办法》。这本书售价约 20 美元,价值是这个价格的十倍。作者理查德·邓肯有着很好的背景,非常聪明。他解释了为什么他认为美元会崩盘,美国会出现严重的经济衰退——以及全球经济衰退。这不是一个狂热的大师,而是一个知道自己在说什么的人,一个了解金钱和世界的人
货币体系——他曾在世界银行和国际货币基金组织工作过。请购买这本书!——理查德·拉塞尔,《道氏理论通讯》
理查德·邓肯清晰地解释了为什么多年来信贷过度、支付失衡和证券化低于标准的贷款的偿还时间迫在眉睫。格林斯潘先生,你的时间到了。——菲利普·鲍林,《国际先驱论坛报》
理查德·邓肯的著作非常出色……我们极力推荐。——比尔·邦纳,《每日清算》
理查德·邓肯……是我认识的最聪明的金融分析师之一。理查德是我最喜欢的书之一《美元危机:原因、后果、解决办法》的作者。——约翰·莫尔丁,《前线思考》
要预览它可能会如何发展,请参阅理查德·邓肯最近修订的著作《美元危机:原因、后果、解决办法》。在消化了其论点之后,试着睡觉吧,这个论点是,世界最大的经济体看起来就像一个庞大且不断增长的庞氏骗局。——威廉·佩塞克 Jr.,《国际先驱论坛报》。

The Dollar Crisis: Causes, Consequences, Cures, Revised and Updated
Richard Duncan
October 2011 224 pages
Description
In this updated, second edition of the highly acclaimed international best seller, The Dollar Crisis: Causes, Consequences, Cures, Richard Duncan describes the flaws in the international monetary system that have destabilized the global economy and that may soon culminate in a deflation-induced worldwide economic slump.
The Dollar Crisis is divided into five parts:
Part One describes how the US trade deficits, which now exceed US$1 million a minute, have destabilized the global economy by creating a worldwide credit bubble.
Part Two explains why these giant deficits cannot persist and why a US recession and a collapse in the value of the Dollar are unavoidable.
Part Three analyzes the extraordinarily harmful impact that the US recession and the collapse of the Dollar will have on the rest of the world.
Part Four offers original recommendations that, if implemented, would help mitigate the damage of the coming worldwide downturn and put in place the foundations for balanced and sustainable economic growth in the decades ahead.
Part Five, which has been newly added to the second edition, describes the extraordinary evolution of this crisis since the first edition was completed in September 2002. It also considers how the Dollar Crisis is likely to unfold over the years immediately ahead, the likely policy response to the crisis, and why that response cannot succeed.
The Dollar Standard is inherently flawed and increasingly unstable. Its collapse will be the most important economic event of the 21st Century.
About the Author
Richard Duncan has worked as a financial analyst for more than 16 years. During his career, he has worked in many leading companies such as Salomon Brothers, HSBC Securities, International Monetary Fund and The World Bank.

Reviews
Posterity may remember The Dollar Crisis as a seminal book in the field of 21st century economics. Indeed, rarely has a book offered such a grim yet, well argued view of the current economic situation facing the world.-- Steven Irvine, FinanceAsia Duncan writes like a man who’s already seen tomorrow. -- James Grant, Grant’s
Interest Rate Observer
I held a class for about 150 people on the book entitled "The Dollar Crisis," authored by Richard Duncan. If you want to better understand why the real estate bubble bust and the crash of the dollar will probably lead to a prolonged recession, you may want to read this book sooner rather than later. In a nutshell, we really do not have a real estate bubble... the world is in a currency bubble. In other words, the governments of the world have printed too much "funny" money and cash will soon turn to trash. Even if you are not in real estate or are saving dollars, you may want to read this book to find out what you need to invest in now, before the bubble bursts. If you are in stocks and mutual funds, you definitely want to read this book.-- Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad
I would like every one of my subscribers to click on to Amazon.com and buy a new book that has just been published entitled, “The Dollar Crisis, Causes, Consequences, Cures.” The book costs around twenty bucks and is worth ten times that amount. The author, Richard Duncan has a great background and is as smart as they come. He explains why he sees a crashing dollar and a severe recession coming up in the US – plus a world recession. This is no wild-eyed guru, this is a guy who knows what he’s talking about and a guy who understands money and the world monetary system – he’s worked for both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Please buy this book!-- Richard Russell, Dow Theory Letters
Richard Duncan crisply explains why payback time for years of credit excesses, payments imbalances and securitized sub-par lending is imminent. Mr Greenspan, your time is up. --Philip Bowring, International Herald Tribune
Richard Duncan’s excellent book… we cannot recommend it enough.-- Bill Bonner, The Daily Reckoning
Richard Duncan… is one of the brightest financial analysts I know. Richard is the author of one of my favorite books called The Dollar Crisis: Causes, Consequences, Cures.-- John Mauldin, Thoughts from the Frontline
For a preview of how it might play out, consult Richard Duncan’s recently revised book, The Dollar Crisis: Causes, Consequences, Cures. Just try to sleep after digesting its thesis that the world’s biggest economy is looking like a huge and growing Ponzi scheme.--William Pesek Jr., International Herald Tribune。
