Empire of Debt
Encyclopedia
Empire of Debt is a book written by Bill Bonner
and Addison Wiggin, subtitled "The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis" . The authors argue that the United States
has transformed from a republic into an empire, although it also discusses such varied themes as the wisdom of the dead and a style of investment the authors term "essentialism".
The authors sometimes take a lighthearted attitude toward the economic crisis they describe, poking fun at Thomas Friedman
and including a humorous glossary at the end of the book with entries like "Bill Gates: Where God goes for a loan."
