Bill Bonner— The Crisis That Could Bring Down the American Empire


Listen Later

"Civilization arises from the bottom; it doesn't come down from the top. When the government gets into the picture, civilization goes backward." — Bill Bonner

A small group of elites with very different interests from the mass population decides what the government will do.

And now, those elites have set their sights on regulating the 'very thing that makes it possible for 8 billion people to live on planet Earth'—energy.

The fallout could be the very thing that ends the American empire.

So, what can we do?

Bill Bonner is an American author of books and articles on economic and financial subjects. He is the founder of Agora Financial and a co-founder of Bonner & Partners publishing. He's the author of Financial Reckoning Day, A Modest Theory Of Civilization: Win-Win Or Lose, and many more titles, including a new (yet to be titles) book to be released this fall. 

On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Bill joins me to share his insight on the cornerstone that civilizations are built on and why the current economic situation in the US is bigger than macroeconomics.

Bill shares how more legislation always leads to across-the-board losses and how power always corrupts (and destroys) successful empires.

Listen in to understand why Bill thinks we're on the verge of a major agricultural and energy crisis catastrophe and how to protect yourself and your family during these times of high calamity.
