When there is a rotting at the center of government, people lose faith in the system and move toward radical solutions. And we don’t have to look far to find examples of this in the US today.

So, what are the potential consequences of this fundamental change in our politics? Do we need to find a safe haven outside the US? And how might we change the system so that it’s less barbaric and more honest?

Bill Bonner is the Founder of Agora Financial and the bestselling author of several books, including Empire of Debt and Financial Reckoning Day. Bill’s latest release is called A Modest Theory of Civilization, and he publishes a daily newsletter at Rogue Economics, Bill Bonner’s Diary.

On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, I sit down with Bill to discuss his safe haven in Argentina through the Coronavirus lockdown and why it’s not a bad idea to have a ‘bolt hole’ outside the US.

Bill explains why people shift to extreme views when society is corrupt at the center, describing some of the political ideas we’re willing to entertain today that would have been laughable just a few years ago, including invoking the 25th Amendment and printing trillions of dollars for a stimulus package.

Listen in to understand the concept of win-win or lose Bill presents in A Modest Theory of Civilization and learn what he is doing right now to build and preserve generational wealth.
