    About this ebook

    The Death of Money:
    The Coming Collapse of The International Monetary System
    From James Rickards
    Summary and Analysis
    Summary Station

    The Death of Money by James Rickards is a fascinating look at both the possibilities and scandals of the global financial market. Written in a light but professional tone, this book makes no attempts to coddle its reader. While the writing is clear and concise, and all topics are thoroughly explained, Rickards is not a fan of filler material. This book contains a constant onslaught of new information and Rickards expects his audience to keep up; if you can manage, it's well worth the ride.

    Many great books are released every year and most avid readers know that they may never have time to read all of the books on their list. In today’s world, many people do not get as much time to read as they would like, so it is important to use any reading time wisely. The problem with this is that it can be very difficult to know if a book is worth reading until you have already invested some time into reading it.

Prophesy concluded that while terrorists themselves were not directly involved in insider trading,
