Thanks. Before reading it, I'd like to persist my current view to the nostr world: I don't think such scenarios have merit, for several reasons.
A) humans tend to organize very rapidly, and become very brutal, if the majority is getting a really bad deal. North Korea is a counter example, but they're heavily indoctrinated by a singular doctrine, which the free world isn't. Since some of the measures are obviously semi-legal at best (e.g. taking assets while leaving debts in place), they will be challenged in court. And if the verdict is egregious, there will be blood on the streets. Besides, judges, soldiers, and policemen have assets, too.
B) Even if it was possible to pull it off in one country, there are around 200 of them in the world, and they're not all at the same point in the grand cycle. India is thriving, so is Indonesia and much of the other southeeast Asian countries. LatAm is also looking good. Eastern Europe is beginning to turn around from the hyper-socialism path the EU has been on.
C) Any idea that suggests some singular, evil cabal behind a dark scenario, is typically wrong. It's lazy to blame a few evil guys in a backroom for negative emerging phenomena. Central power has limits, some of which arise from the complexity of the world: the central power cannot consider enough aspects of reality to handle a complex situation; it needs the brain power of a large collective to solve it.
I'll look into the book for a few pages and tell you what I think of it.
