Habe gerade von einem Untergangsverliebten folgenden Literaturhinweis bekommen. Ich glaube zwar nicht an dieses Szenario, klingt aber dennoch interessant. Schon einmal jemand seine Nase hier hineingesteckt? (Ich meine natürlich das Buch und nicht das Szenario.)

Synopsis

Full Faith & Credit: A Novel About Financial Collapse-

A sudden decline in the dollar leads to a steep correction in the stock
market. As negative economic news piles up, financial markets go from bad to
worse sending stocks and bonds into a relentless tailspin. A panic ensues.
The stock market collapses further and most investors are wiped out. The
booming economic expansion turns into a sharp credit contraction and
depression. Consumer buying shrivels and business activity plummets.
Mortgage foreclosures are epidemic. Unemployment soars.

Richie Stenquist, an aggressive speculator, begins to maneuver through the
wreckage. In the face of collapsing markets, he parlays his small stake into
a vast fortune. The worst is yet to come. The dollar crashes, interest rates
scream upward, mutual funds postpone redemptions, and liquidity vanishes.
Massive derivative defaults capsize banks and hedge funds. Huge government
guarantees and bailouts puts immense financial strains on the government.
The depression dramatically reduces the government's tax revenues. Trillions
in government debt must be rolled over at double-digit interest rates. A
default appears imminent. The president meets with the chairman of the
Federal Reserve and the secretary of the Treasury to try to fashion a way
out of the greatest financial crisis in history. Against the backdrop of a
nationwide financial collapse and rising social unrest, Richie Stenquist is
forced to make difficult personal decisions for himself and his family. Full
Faith & Credit is the story of one man's actions and insights in the midst
of a crisis.
