Well, you have to give him credit, he did a fair job of predicting the current financial crisis, pointing out that Credit Default Swaps and Credit Derivative Options were a danger and could bring down the economy.
He talks about the 3 "perils" (religion, dependence on oil, borrowed money) more or less separately, talking about them in different sections of the book, with no real attempt to tie them together (maybe they really can't be tied together); you can tell what his baby is, the political trends based on religion, he waxes on that long and hard.
