Description: In America, we know what we have to do. We have an empire to run. Outlying places to police. People to boss around. Sabres to rattle. And an economy that has to remain Numero Uno. Unfortunately, history shows that running an empire is a disastrously expensive business. You pay in cash. You pay in blood. And you pay with your own soul. Praise for EMPIRE OF DEBT In America, we know what we have to do. We have an empire to run. Outlying places to police. People to boss around. Sabres to rattle. And an economy that has to remain Numero Uno. Unfortunately, history shows that running an empire is a disastrously expensive business. You pay in cash. You pay in blood. And you pay with your own soul. "This is a powerful book. In addition to its depth, it is well written, well documented, and vastly readable. I had the feeling of seeing an X-ray of economic reality with the crust removed. It should be made mandatory reading in most circles. Read it, and your views of the world around you will no longerbe the same." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb , founder, Empirica Capital, LLC, and author, Fooled by Randomness "Now perhaps someone will finally listen!" - Jim Rogers , author, Investment Biker, Adventure Capitalist, and Hot Commodities "Instead of trade and work, imperialism breeds militarism, inflation, and debt, as Bonner and Wiggin show. Yet there is a golden hope in freedom and honest money." - Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. , Ludwig von Mises Institute "[ Empire of Debt ] is a fantastic book. It's thoughtful, erudite, witty, well written, practical . . . and spot-on. If you value your financial health, you'll read it from cover to cover. Now!" - Doug Casey , Chairman, Casey Research, LLC, and author, Crisis Investing "I laughed, I cried, I renewed my passport. . . . Bonner and Wiggin deliver a steady diet of insight and wit that terrifies the reader, even as it amuses. Em pire of Debt is not for everyone, only for those of us who hope to enjoy continuing prosperity amidst difficult conditions." - Eric Fry , Editor, The Rude Awakening
