Bread, Circuses, and Worthless Paper: America's Roman Moment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798274507448)

America carries over $39 trillion in national debt, adding $2 trillion more each year. Interest payments alone exceed $1 trillion annually. Sound sustainable? History says otherwise.

This eye-opening analysis draws striking parallels between ancient Rome's currency collapse and America's modern fiscal crisis. Through the story of Marcus, a Roman baker watching his empire debase its coins in 298 AD, readers witness how great civilizations destroy their currencies through the same predictable pattern: overspending, money printing, and denial.

Discover why traditional solutions, such as economic growth, spending cuts, or tax increases, can no longer solve America's debt spiral. Learn how government statistics mask true inflation, why foreign nations are abandoning the dollar, and what happens when a currency loses the world's trust.

Written in plain English without political bias, this book explains complex financial concepts through simple examples anyone can understand. The Federal Reserve's "money printing" mirrors Rome's coin debasement. The outcome is equally predictable.

Rome believed it was eternal. America assumes it's exceptional. Both were wrong.

Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what's really happening to the dollar-and what comes next.
