Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis
Currency Wars is a chilling dispatch from the hidden battlefield where nations clash not with bombs, but with bonds, reserves, and manipulated exchange rates. In this high-stakes realm of shadow finance and strategic deception, currencies are weapons, and economic collapse is a silent coup. As the world’s financial system teeters on the edge of engineered chaos, one question rises: can a nation defend its sovereignty when its money becomes its most vulnerable flank? Rickards draws the reader into a world where monetary policy is modern warfare, and the victors may not fire a single shot—but leave entire economies in ruins. Gripping and sobering, this is a call to understand the quiet violence of global finance before its consequences become deafening.
