What can the average salary earner do to prepare for the triple specter of rising inflation, rising interest rates and rising taxes? What business do world-improvers and do-gooders have predicting the needs of the world 50 years out... while imposing their plans in the here and now? What happens to revolutionaries when it comes time to confront their own sordid pasts? I posed these questions, and plenty more, to Bill Bonner when I caught up with him earlier in the week. Bill is happily ensconced in Youghal, Ireland, where he just welcomed the 7th Bonner grandchild into the fold.
