ENDonomics: Default, Deflation, Derivatives & the End of the United States As We Know It. - Paperback

by Jake Shannon M. Sc (Author)

By 2025, the American empire will have gone the way of so many empires before it. So says iconoclastic (and uncannily prescient) libertarian financial engineer Jake Shannon. In ENDonomics, Shannon lays out the causes of the impending collapse of the United States as we know it in clear and simple language: ...why, despite multiple 'quantitative easings', we are not seeing hyperinflation and in many cases seeing deflation? ...what happens when the US defaults on the national debt? ...how has modern financial economics, and derivatives instruments specifically, helped to hasten the collapse of the United States? ...and much, much more. Despite the dismal title referring to the dismal science, Shannon contends that there is good reason to be an "Apocaloptimist". Read and share ENDonomics and learn why the end of the American empire may very well lead to the rebirth of the American Republic
