I read "Financial reckoning day: Surviving the soft depression of the 21st century" and I found it very insightful. It was my introduction to Addison Wiggin and I was particularly drawn to his writing style as well as his interpretations of modern economic policy decisions, etc. - which I agree with about 90% of.
That said I ordered this and found it to be a repetitive, cursory retread of information that was either in the first book or already avail. from other sources. Anyone who cares is already well aware that, as a nation and regardless of political party, we are printing money with reckless abandon and spending our children into serfdom
In any event, it's a quick read - you can skim it in an hour and not miss anything.

Now that the Republicans are out of power, they have taken up this issue, but this book shows it was started, or at least exacerbated by them when they were in power 10 years ago.
