Review by James F. Strasma for The Worried Citizen’s Little Survival Guide to the Greatest Financial Crisis of the Century (Understanding and Surviving the Domino Depression)

Author Windwalker and I agree on almost all of the content of this book, with one exception potential purchasers might want to know about prior to purchase. Although the author advises against casting blame for our current troubles, he does so constantly, and in a manner that to me as an independent voter suggests he’s been listening a bit too much to partisans of the Democratic Party.
It isn’t that his attacks on the George W. Bush presidency are incorrect, for the most part. Rather, Windwalker appears not to have noticed any of the corruption originating from the other side of the Congressional aisle. Not everything that happened during the Bush years is Bush’s fault, any more than that everything happening now is the fault of President Obama.
In my opinion, the genesis of our current problems is bipartisan, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help toward a solution.
Other books that round out the picture a bit include:
The Good Life and Its Discontents, by Robert J. Samuelson
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression, by Amity Shlaes
Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
The Total Money Makeover, by Dave Ramsey
That said, this is a pithy and worthwhile read on an important problem at a very reasonable price.

Before reading The Worried Citizen’s Little Survival Guide To The Greatest Financial Crisis Of The Century, I expected the book to be a re-hash of all the cable network shows that have begun to bore even the most avid worrier of our economic downturn. I was so wrong.
Windwalker’s original, concise and powerful analysis of today’s most troublesome state of affairs shows us all how we, as individuals, are effected and will be far into the future. I’ve seen no one else articulate the present and future economic crisis as succinctly, yet so thoroughly, and this makes The Worried Citizen’s Little Survival Guide To The Greatest Financial Crisis Of The Century a must-read for everyone.

Every time I see those CNBC guys pontificating about when the recovery is going to begin I want to scream. In Windwalker, though, I have a kindred spirit who knows what is really at stake for families and individual working people and retired people these days. He tells it like it is, but the direct approach does not keep him from being able to break down the most complicated economic events in elegant, easy-to-understand language. I read this as a Kindle exclusive and my only regret is that I have to wait weeks for the paperback to share it with most of my friends.

There’s some good food for thought here–including some very appropriate back-to-basics thinking that we should all learn young and practice throughout our lives, but few actually do. The current economic climate drives us back to basics, which is a good thing.
I really struggled with trying to read this book because I had to fight through the haze of political bias to get to it. If this Kindle book were about the key topic, without the constant political undertones and at times overt politically hostile angle in much of the text, I’d find myself in a much more charitable position with regard to it.
As-is, I cannot recommend this book, even at the very low price point at which it sells.

Today, those who grew up during the first depression have an advantage. They know how to mend clothing, stretch food, plan satisfying but inexpensive meals, and make that dollar go as far as possible. We need a little more than that today. We need to see how this all happened. We understand that Santayana quote ‘Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it’ has a great deal of truth. So this book offers us the opportunity to look closely at recent history and see just what went wrong. Look at the causes, and also look at what we can do to cope. If we do not finally learn this lesson, it really will happen again.
