{"product_id":"2940016774008","title":"Spiraling Downward: Thinking About and Planning for Economic Collapse","description":"America has suffered two economic blows in less than a decade: the collapse of the dot.com bubble in 2000 and the collapse of the real estate bubble in 2007-2009. These blows have left the U.S. struggling to stay on its feet. Spiraling Downward considers the consequences if a still-weak America took another hit, another stock market crash and credit crunch. Given unaddressed imbalances in the US economy, an economic collapse, is indeed possible. This book charts a path that an economic collapse might take. It starts with the anatomy of a market crash and a credit crunch. It seeks to identify the danger zones from which another crash might arise. It then looks at how a crash might shock an economy already weak into an unarrested downward spiral. Spiraling Downward thus offers a way to think about the unthinkable. At a time when conventional views of recession and recovery prevail, this book asks us to consider a different proposition: maybe this time it's different.","brand":"Prepper Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173039128816,"sku":"2940016774008","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016774008_p0.jpg?v=1763641440","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016774008","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
