Only the leaders change, from tough military men to seasoned economists, scholars, followers. It is a war of currencies, in a book that lays hands on this war, the easiest means and the most deadly for societies from within. It presents the financial crisis of the year, analyzing the reasons for its occurrence, how experts tried to avoid it in the beginning, and attempts to avoid it that failed and that almost led to greater risks. It reviews the effects of the currency war, from the collapse of securities, the freezing of assets, the confiscation of gold, and the imposition of capital controls.
