WEalth Creation And Preservation: "Et Tu, Brute? (How Empires Die)"

"Over the millennia, empires as disparate as Persia, Rome, Spain, and Great Britain rose to dominate the world. Of course, we know how those empires turned out and, by extension, we might hazard an educated guess as to how the present American Empire will end.

First and foremost, any empire declines as a result of economic mismanagement."  Doug Casey, The International Man
