    You don't have to be an economist to measure how bad things are.

    An engineer like myself can take his skills to a functioning economy and earn three times as much speaks volumes in it's own right.

      As Doggy Styles says, fair point, yes, there's an element of that.

      But there's also more than an element of "res ipsa loquitur" ...

        No, there really isn't. The article is written with the sole intention of scaring the crap out of you and then offering you a way to save yourself through their "expertise and insight" and getting you to sign up with them

        They cite their sources, they throw in generic references to debt without giving real information and constatntly try and frighten you into thinking you are going to lose everything.

        The whole article is a variation on the Boiler room scam. "If you don't buy this now you'll miss out on the chance and you won't make loads of money like all the sensible people who did listen to us. Now if you have your credit card handy...."

        To quote the article

        Our advice is simple: don’t let that happen. Let our research group show precisely how to respond.


        Click here now and let MoneyWeek show you some simple, practical ways to defend your wealth against these threats.

        We’ll immediately send you:

        The next four issues of MoneyWeek for FREE – showing you how our team of expert investors are preparing for the coming debt implosion.
        The link takes you to a sign up page that asks for your credit card details or bank details for a direct debit.

        Yes the first four issues are Free but you have to cancel during the trial or you end up paying full whack. And you have to cancel by phone, not online. More chance to talk you out of it.

        Remember, if you decide MoneyWeek is not for you, simply cancel at any time during your 4-week FREE trial by calling 0207 633 3780.
        tl;dr It's all bollocks.

          Is this the same moneyweek that said don't buy equities in 2009 at the bottom and buy gold in 2011 at the top and what ever you do never buy a house?
