Rick from California Recommends "Broke"

This web site started recommending Broke, by Glenn Beck (and his serious research team), before this web site was even set up...back when we were using a cute, doomed little "Weebly" page. However, Broke is not A Book You Can Buy From Me, because Beck and friends are still selling it.

Jonathon Seidl shares a link to the audio recording of Rick from California discussing Broke, here:

If you've not already read Broke, here's where to buy it directly from Beck, Balfe, et al.:

And here's where I'll update what I said about it, summer before last. Broke is part of a series, along with Arguing with Idiots, An Inconvenient Truth, and Cowards, in which Glenn Beck presents huge amounts of serious research done by people who aren't professional entertainers. While the other books in this series range through a list of topics Beck has covered on his show, Broke is all about the U.S. economy. As such, it contains a lot of informed opinion and educated guesswork. When Broke came out, I could say that you might not agree with the interpretation of the numbers presented in Broke. By now there's been time for economists to debate that interpretation...and most of them seem to think Beck, Balfe, and friends are right.
