Mobs, Messiahs and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics

Bill Bonner, the bestselling author of Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt is back. Joined by journalist Lila Rajiva, the pair use literary economics to offer broader insights into mass behaviour and its devastating effects on society. They explore why sane, responsible individuals allow themselves to be manipulated into an irrational mob by charlatans and demagogues? And why good taste, behaviour and sense are abandoned when empty slogans are waved at them?

In attempting an answer, the authors weave a light-hearted journey through history, politics and finance to show group thinking at work in an improbable array of instances, from medieval crusades to the architectural follies of hedge-fund managers. Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets gives concrete advice on how readers can avoid what the authors call the ‘public spectacle’ of modern finance, and become, instead, ‘private’ investors - knowing their own mind and following their own intuitions.

As you would expect from Bill Bonner – this project is pursued with the same irreverent humour you find in your Daily Reckoning.

Empire of Debt is filled with the latest economic and historical insights from Bill and (his equally humorous and erudite) co-author Addison Wiggin. What it finally uncovers is the unseen story of how and why America has put itself on course for the worst financial crisis since 1929. And more importantly, how you can protect yourself and your assets from this crisis.

The book explores the notion that America is now for all intents and purposes, an imperial power, directly in contradiction with the ideals and beliefs of its founding fathers. Bonner and Wiggin manage to bring their irreverent sense of humour to the disturbing prospect that the world’s most powerful Empire is on the brink of financial collapse.

If anything sums up Empire of Debt it's these two comments from recent readers:

"Masterfully delivered! Repeated buckets of ice cold reality to the face never felt so good. You'll giggle, you'll shout, you'll clinch your fist and stomp your feet — and you'll beg for more. I did!" — Mathew Gordon (Long Beach, CA)

"Empire of Debt is probably the most important history book you will ever read. It puts the two great world wars, the Vietnam war, the Cold war, and the war in Iraq in an historical perspective that I've never seen anywhere else." — Dan Brown (Madison, AL)
