Bill Bonner (author)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bill Bonner is an author of books and articles on economic and financial subjects. He is the founder and president of Agora Publishing, and the principal author of a daily financial column known as The Daily Reckoning. Bonner is also a contributor to the news and opinion blog LewRockwell.com.

Bill has co-authored two books with Addison Wiggin. The first was Financial Reckoning Day: Surviving The Soft Depression of The 21st Century. Their latest book, Empire of Debt, is published by Wiley.

In his books and in The Daily Reckoning, Bonner opines that the financial future of the United States is in peril because of various economic and demographic trends, not the least of which is America's large trade deficit. He claims that America's foreign policy exploits are tantamount to the establishment of an empire, and the price of maintaining such an empire could accelerate America's eventual decline.

Bonner and his fellow writers at The Daily Reckoning voice strong opinions about how people can best arrange their investment portfolios to protect themselves from this predicted American decline. But Bonner, in a gesture of humility, will usually add that "we don't know" what will happen in the future-that no one can predict all the unforeseen events which will shape that future.
