Thoughts on Lionel Shriver's The Mandibles

The Mandibles

Author: Lionel Shriver

The first by-design economic fiction that I've read; I didn't even know it was a genre. I'm flagging it here, since the book provides an interesting thought experiment about how the US dollar could lose its status as the global reserve currency, the implications for American society, how the US could recover, and what the potential implications would be from settling debts and birthing a new currency.

 

If you're looking for something to read or listen to on investing, leadership, or self-improvement, the Books section of my website has some suggestions for you.
