Publisher's Summary

Building on the uncannily accurate predictions in previous editions, this latest edition of The Empire of Debt: We Came, We Saw, We Borrowed, written by New York Times bestselling authors Addison Wiggin and Bill Bonner, explores the economic, political, and financial events between 2008-09 and 2023, placing them in historical context and explaining what's likely to happen for the remaining years of the 2020s.

The book imparts practical advice on how to protect wealth in the face of ongoing and rapidly intensifying crises, as well as suggestions on how these trends can be played to put investors' own money to work. In this book, listeners will learn about:

- Political development of US hegemony in the 20th century, from the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913 through to the present

- Past and current conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Russia and their effects on finance

- The response to the Financial Panic of '08, including a decade of Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP)

With investors more eager than ever to protect their investments, The Empire of Debt is an essential guide to the future of finance, harnessing history to accurately plot where we are and where we're going.
