    Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis

    What if the greatest threat to global stability isn’t war or pandemics—but the invisible war raging over money itself? In Currency Wars, James Rickards exposes a clandestine battlefield where nations weaponize currencies, gambling with economic collapse for supremacy. But when rival strategies spiral into chaos, will ordinary lives survive the fallout… or is the next crisis already ticking toward a point of no return?
