Summary: a worthy, and sometimes compelling, read
Comment: faber and his "i know best" attitude (which you'll either appreciate, as i did, or grow weary of) decidedly spell out his vision of what will happen in the time to come re: asian development and capital flows; he tells you what to do (in so many words) and why the herd will be wrong. his historical analyses are quite useful (except the chapters on business cycles and kondratieff cycles, which i agree are muddy) and he lays out plenty of evidence to support his positions. i must say that while i'm not quite bought into the doom and gloom that he is known for, his cases are compelling, and if this leads the reader to take offsetting positions in investing to better hedge their portfolio, then it is well worth its weight in gold.
his style is quite casual, making an economics book (as this is precisely that) rather easy to digest.
to succinctly summarize, global capital flows (and their ever increasing supply) will eventually flow to china and asia proper to support their ever-increasing per capita income. resource plays are the best bet. also, in a more general sense, he states how $$ can be made by spotting how market inefficiencies result from misallocation of foreign direct investment.
a worthy read? definitely. but i refuse to support it fully when i know faber sits on the boards of select mining companies that are primarily engaged in asian development (ivanhoe mines); a conflict of interest? it certainly seems that way...but that doesn't make him wrong.

Summary: good stuff
Comment: I would recommend this to anyone who isn't so myopic as to realize the world is a big place, and history always repeats itself.
Rating: 1
Summary: Waste of time & money.
Comment: Muddled reasoning. Pop economics with no statistical basis. Instead of writing an entire book, could have simply summed up his thought as "Deflation, yes; however I still think you should invest in a basket of commodities because of the expected burgeoning demand from China."
