谁应该为美国的经济瘫痪负责？华尔街的新巨头们是如何看待波动性而非盈利能力的？真正的1%是谁？他们是如何压榨中产阶级的？无现金社会的潜在危险？比特币和区块链会是一个好的货币制度的未来吗？…… 诚如乔治·吉尔德指出，“尽管有数十亿美元的刺激计划和接近于零的利率，华尔街仍在复苏，但经济从未复苏。” 在这部开创性的作品中，乔治·吉尔德对美国的经济困境给出了一个全新的解释。吉尔德揭露了美联储、华盛顿权力掮客以及华尔街“大到不能倒”的大银行的腐败行为，详细描述了一小群精英如何操纵货币和危机，以抑制经济增长，打压中产阶级。他指出了现行的货币体系的局限和缺陷，并且提出了下一个大繁荣的可能途径。

乔治·吉尔德（George Gilder），当今美国知名未来学家、经济学家，和尼古拉斯·尼葛洛庞帝和马歇尔·麦克卢汉一起，被誉为“数字时代的三大思想家”。毕业于哈佛大学，并曾服务于美国海军陆战队。 20世纪80年代，他成为供应学派经济学的代表人物，其作品《财富与贫困》被誉为里根革命的改革指南，在美国销售超过100万册；90年代，成为新经济的倡导者，曾被白宫授予“企业杰出奖”。在90年代中期的美国高科技领域，乔治?吉尔德就已经声名远播，经常与安迪?格罗夫、彼得·德鲁克等同场演讲。他还是《福布斯》《哈佛商业评论》等著名杂志的撰稿人，《企业之魂》《知识与权力》《通信革命》等著作影响极大。
