— The Economist
"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 longer be the same."
—Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan and
Fooled by Randomness
"Now perhaps someone will finally listen!"
—Jim Rogers, author of 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., President, 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
of 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. Empire 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
