Posljednji dani Amerike

Paul Erdman

An economic thriller that speculates about the consequences of the global financial and political crisis. The novel follows Bill Hitchcock, a banker and market expert, who finds himself at the center of the chaos caused by economic instability and geopoli

The plot revolves around the collapse of American economic power due to inflation, the fall of the dollar, and the government's inability to manage the crisis. The key conflict comes from Europe, where German Chancellor Franz Joseph Strauss and NATO allies, with the support of Middle Eastern powers, are setting in motion plans that threaten American dominance. Erdman, an expert in finance, describes in detail the mechanisms of banking speculation, market manipulation, and political intrigue, including the threat of nuclear conflict. Hitchcock tries to save the situation, but is confronted with corruption, betrayal, and the system's internal weaknesses.

The book warns of the fragility of the global financial system and the consequences of greed and political shortsightedness. Erdman's style is tense but informative, making complex economic topics accessible. The novel reflects Cold War-era fears, especially about the decline of American influence and the escalation of international tensions. Although fiction, the work is relevant for its insight into economic crises and political instability. Critics praise its tension but criticize the occasional schematization of the characters.
