LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
SHAMELESS PLUG FOR MY NEW BOOK A new book by me is available, right now, from Atlantic Monthly Press! And everyone should buy it because... Because I’ve got three kids to put through college. Plus, I hope you’ll enjoy it.

NONE OF MY BUSINESS P.J. Explains Money, Banking, Debt, Equity, Assets, Liabilities, and Why He’s Not Rich and Neither Are You And I’ll stand by every word of that except for “Neither Are You.” This was inserted into the subtitle for the general public. You readers of American Consequences , especially if you also subscribe to some of the premium financial advisories of our advertisers like Stansberry Research, are either millionaires or you soon will be. Or, at the very least, you’re smarter than the average millionaire – to judge by the “Inbox” feedback we get here at AMC . In fact – to judge by the “Tesla Mess-La” – you’re smarter than the average billionaire . Anyway, you can afford a good laugh. And I do my best to provide one, writing about...
