Apocalypse 2000: Economic Breakdown and the Suicide of Democracy, 1989-2000

As the Twentieth Century drew to a close, decades of global economic mismanagement and political cowardice have begun to bear bitter fruit Throughout the West, inflation is raging and recession is deepening... America: a right-wing TV preacher presides over a nation collapsing into civil disorder. Latin America: governments default on their debts, throwing the world banking system into chaos. Japan: once mighty, the nation turns in upon itself in a spasm of violence. Europe: in a climate of uncertainty and fear, a neo-Hitler figure has emerged, and is gathering support for his vision of the continent as a third power in the global arena.
