How Countries Go Broke I didn't set out to study economic collapse. I stumbled into it-through stories, conversations, and moments that stayed with me long after the headlines faded. This book is my attempt to make sense of those moments. Not through abstract theory, but through lived experiences-mine, and those of ordinary people who woke up one day to find their country slipping away from them. - I take you inside real situations where warning signs were ignored, and small decisions quietly grew into national crises. - I share personal encounters and stories of individuals-workers, parents, business owners-who felt the impact long before economists gave it a name. - I break down how debt, corruption, policy mistakes, and misplaced priorities slowly tighten their grip on a nation. - I explore the human side of financial collapse: the fear, the resilience, and the quiet adaptations people make to survive. - I reflect on patterns I've noticed-how different countries, cultures, and leaders often repeat the same costly mistakes. - I ask uncomfortable questions about responsibility, leadership, and the role we all play, whether we realize it or not. This isn't a textbook. It's a story-told from where I stand-about how nations don't just collapse overnight, but unravel piece by piece, often in ways that feel invisible until it's too late.
