Part II details the long series of US policy mistakes responsible for this disaster. Part III outlines the actions required to restructure the US economy and restore global economic growth. Capitalism has been corrupted by paper money and debt. Sustainable prosperity will require a return to economic orthodoxy. This book maps the way back.ReviewA lucid and original argument about the causes of financial instability, including the continuing global recession; the book lays out a bold agenda for structural reform, national and international.

Richard Duncan makes the case in the highly readable Corruption of Capitalism that US dollar cash is losing its purchasing power at an accelerating rate against other assets because of the Fed s expansionary monetary policies. You can print money, you can increase the supply of bonds, you can increase the supply of equities through new issues, but you simply cannot increase the supply of gold and other precious metals at the same rate. Richard Duncan demystifies in this highly readable book the belief that the Fed solves problems when in fact it is directly responsible for the present crisis. The Fed s irresponsible monetary policies have led to a de-industrialization of the US, a complete misallocation of capital, a colossal destruction of wealth of the median household and to a significant loss of the US dollar s purchasing power. Corruption of Capitalism is a must read in order to preserve your and your children s wealth. Richard Duncan s Corruption of Capitalism is a well researched book, which shows how monetary policy errors leading to excessive credit growth brought about the current crisis.
