THE BOOK


Every businessperson and every investor makes decisions based on what the mainstream media (and sometimes the fringe media) tells them about the economy, inflation, money, interest rates, government, and the Federal Reserve.


So when the mainstream media called the worst inflation in more than 40 years a money problem, rather than a shortages problem, the price gougers jumped in and a lot of people made a lot of mistakes.


The Price of Cheese: How Too Much Stupidity, Not Too Much Money, Caused An Inflation explains it all.


Which is why this little book should be at least as valuable to decision makers as Who Moved My Cheese? or any other self-help business and investment book.


It is currently available as a $3.99 eBook.
