This was very disappointing. I expected this group author would display a greater understanding of the economy. What I got instead was a continuing repetition that everything was due to the charging of interest. Crime, for example, according to the FBI crime reports, violent crime has fallen by 51 percent since 1991, and property crime by 43 percent. Now, there is a lot more made of crime in the news, but the facts say otherwise.
If we eliminate all interest, what happens to the bond market? In a sense, we all create money when we invest, not just banks. After all, if you loan money via the bond market, you continue to have that amount as part of your net worth while someone else is spending it. You receive both interest and principle back while you have only loaned the principle.
The money supply, according to the Federal Reserve, is only 4% actual cash money. All the rest is created through investments (not just bank loans but investment). Remove the non-cash money and where will the money come from to get a house loan? You pay off a house loan in 15 to 30 years including the interest and many people do so. Where did the money for the interest come from? From earnings derived from the value which you created.
I am no economist so finding so many mistakes in a book like this, and so much ranting instead of critical thinking, is a disappointment.

The Answer: The Peaceful and Rational Solution to Nearly All Our Problems is written by a group of professionals who found a better way of achieving a greater world. Their ideas are practical, but the change would be so drastic for some that it would seem unattainable. In a country run by politicians who do whatever they want without the welfare of the people or our future, families lose sight of their values.
I found The Answer: The Peaceful and Rational Solution to Nearly All Our Problems a very informative and well-researched book. Out of frustration, people are taking drastic measures or efforts that make no results in the big picture. There is no way a review could cover the important topics this book discusses and explains a better solution than what we have. Read the book and hope for a brighter future.

A very interesting reading.
Nowadays, it is quite difficult to find a book with answers for some of our problems, but I think that the one that I have just read provides several answers and solutions to some of them. “The Answer: The Peaceful and rational solution to nearly all our problems” written by J.M. Garret is a very helpful piece of work.
When I started reading it, I thought that it would be difficult to follow the author´s train of thought but I was mistaken; I could do it. I enjoyed it and learned a lot, as well. One of the bits that I liked the most is that it left an optimistic message towards life. All in all, this is a well-explained book with current and useful information. It also includes examples that support what the writer stated. I truly recommend it!

Aren’t we all looking for answers all the time? Well, thank you author Garret. The Answer, as its name suggests, is a book that would help readers understand that most of the world’s problems have just one underlying possible cause and one answer or solution, as well.
It belongs to the category of macroeconomics and, actually, economy and related topics prevail. Actually, the best part for me is the section called More Debt Than Money, which I believe is a topic that touches so many people nowadays.
The book contains a lot of well-crafted and developed information written in a simple manner for all types of readers to grasp. One of the aftermaths of The Answer is that it leaves us thinking a lot.

“The Answer” is an interesting book that seeks to provide an answer to many of the problems we are going through as a society nowadays. I first bought it attracted by its title and I must say that I enjoyed it very much. In it, the writer, J.M. Garret, explains how society is constructed and how the economic system is maintained for the benefit of a few. By challenging and changing this global system people will be able to solve all of the difficulties that affect our current reality.
In this work, the author portrays some guiding lines and practices to help the reader on their journey of self-discovery, evolution, change and enlightenment. I really liked this book. I found it easy to follow and understand, and inspirational. I highly recommend it.

A very useful book
The Answer by J.M Garret is a book that presents a possible solution for the world's problems. Although it may seem difficult to understand at first, the points and topics presented through the book make the ideas and solutions more practical and real.
It is an intense read as it goes into financial topics and world issues but I guarantee readers will finish the book and gain knowledge from it, perhaps for themselves or for the future.
J.M Garret is a group of diverse professionals who have come together to present The Answer. It’s is very well developed and written in a very correct and direct way for any reader to comprehend and follow through each chapter. It’s an educational and a very powerful tool for future finances. Definitely recommend!

The Answer is a perfect book that helped me press forward with more joy on my journey through life. Without any doubt, I gained a better understanding of the meaning of my purpose and how my life and emotions are directed simply by me.
I dare to say that it came up at the perfect time when I needed answers to some life issues and overcoming some patterns that kept showing up.
While I was reading its pages and I faced with THE real answer, I couldn’t believe it, but it makes sense; money, as we all know, it is always money!
The world would be a completely different place if we all seriously lived out the authors’ advice. I felt they were whispering to me from the other side. I know they are!
Highly recommended work!

A Book About Everything
The Answer by J.M. Garrett is a book that tends to provide the answer to some of the critical life issues like prosperity, anxiety, anger, addiction, hunger, obesity, loneliness, you name them. The Answer is a thought-provoking book that draws the reader’s attention to the position he finds himself in. The book is a must-have for critical thinkers who are open to learning about the world without bias.
I strongly recommend everyone to read this book since it is relevant to our world today. It will help us to understand the changes going on around us and prepare our minds for the events ahead. The author did not only present us with problems, but he also did well to offer us solutions.

I think this is a really nice book, it has a different perspective on the problems we've faced in the entire globe for many years.
Author J.M Garret, talks about scenarios and situations that big corporations and big people with big power don't want to be part of. Interest and politics are two main characters in this book and the author explains how the world works in a very simple way.
I also think this book is a great trampoline to a lot more, to leave the readers thinking, wanting to have more knowledge on the subject and invest themselves more in society and be active members of it.

This book truly blew my mind. I believe that is a life changing material. I would recommend it to all my loving ones. It is a literary material that gives a strong foundation to make any change or achieve any goal in our lives.
The Answer, by J.M. Garret, is the result of the compilation of the solutions of many problems that afflict humanity. At first, I was tremendously surprised because of the long list of problems that people can encounter. After reading this book, I am extremely grateful for those professionals that share their knowledge and the author of this book who wrote it so clearly. For all these reasons, I am giving this book five out of five stars.

Not an answer but THE ANSWER!
By following the rules inside these covers of the book, I was able to solve many of the problems. When I say “solutions” of course I am referring to money and power. Even though I did not have money and I was not in a position of power, this book hit the nail on its head, and I could improve my life.
Garret was the person in charge of collecting the information, the evidence that some researchers had - the promised answer! Then, the writer unveils the so-wanted never-told remedy and he does so in an organized and clear way.
This book changed my daily life and I think it can help many more!

Starting with a great introduction, “The Answer” gives us an overview of all the problems we face every day. What many of us did not know is that all these problems can be solved in a very simple way. If these problems were solved, we would all benefit; we could have from more jobs to better health services.
I really liked the approach that the author Garret gave to this book. I also like that he has included graphics, since I think they help to understand the idea better. His explanations are concise and simple.

“The Answer” is one of the most useful books I have ever read. In this piece of writing, I found the answer to a lot of problems: poverty, money, wars to mention some. It was written by a group of researchers who want to achieve a better world. It contains simple but wonderful ideas that must be read by everyone.
To be honest, this book changed my life, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a change because it opened my mind and gave me another perspective. It is a great piece of writing to have next to my bed and read every time I need some answers. I absolutely liked it!
