E$caping Oz: Protecting your wealth during the financial crisis
In 2008 the U.S. and world economies were flattened by a disease unlike any seen in history. Governments and central banks applied vaccines to get the economy on its feet again. Why did the economy fall like it did? What sort of “cure” was applied by our Wizards? Do you think the crisis was entirely the fault of Wall Street and greedy bankers or were they just symptoms of something larger? Are we out of the woods?
These answers are important not just for your family’s welfare but for the broader goal of our country’s future – both political and economic. Politics and economics will become inseparable in the years ahead.
Readers enjoy how E$caping Oz discusses why our crisis happened and the dangers that lie ahead. Those expecting a rescue from our “Wizards” will be placing their welfare in peril.
The story of The Wizard of Oz serves as the metaphor for where we find ourselves economically. Jim Mosquera uses this metaphor to help people understand what at times can be an intimidating subject. This book could be one of the most important publications many people will read in the next few years. An understanding of the economic issues will be essential as economics and politics continue to intersect in the future. If you don’t understand these issues, you will not escape the financial Land of Oz.
The economic malaise we encountered was serious but is only the beginning. Reliance on the Wizards will only make our country’s journey more painful. Ultimately, we have to trust ourselves. Once we pull back the curtain, we will realize we can get back home without the Wizard’s help.
