Weird Tract Number 52: "World-Famed Economists Forecast DOOM!" by Moses David

Troy Davis writes:

I previously wrote about batshit-crazy predatory sex cult The Children of God when I discussed the tract "The Crazy Crusader" by David Berg (writing as "Moses David"). This five-page tract from 1974 by Berg reminds me of the Nigerian 419 emails that are blatantly obvious in their phoniness because they want to weed out smart people because smart people are a waste of their time because they won't be suckered by their scam. Berg engages in a long, barely coherent harangue about inflation and economics. I felt less intelligent after reading the tract.

Bonus: When I got the tract from eBay, inside of it was an invitation to a Sunday night "get together" in Oakland.
