The Approaching Winter: The Next Great Depression is a book that combines U.S. history and America's ever repeating cycles with a psychology that has been slowly changing form since the turn of the century. Within the next few years, America will have to come to grips with an approaching economic winter that could result in the worst depression in its 230 years of history. What we thought our children's children would have to struggle through may be ours to endure. As this book was being published by Author House, Americans experienced yet another great tragedy upon our soul as Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf of Mexico coastline. This catastrophe, 9/11 and perhaps future events may be the triggers that will usher in the next great depression. As you read The Approaching Winter: The Next Great Depression, it may cause you to be fearful, angry and uncertain of our future. However, by reading this book you may be able to prepare yourself psychologically and perhaps economically to face the stormy and bitterly cold winter that awaits each and every one of us.
