In his two financial books, as well as in The Daily Reckoning, Bonner has argued that the financial future of the United States is in peril because of various economic and demographic trends, not the least of which is America's large trade deficit. He claims that America's foreign policy exploits are tantamount to the establishment of an empire, and that the cost of maintaining such an empire could accelerate America's eventual decline. Bonner argues in his latest book that mob and mass delusions are part of the human condition{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}
Bonner warned in 2015 that the credit system, which has been the essential basis of the US economy since the 1950s, will inevitably fail, leading to catastrophic failure of the banking system.{{cite news|title=Bill Bonner: hold on to your cash, the real financial crisis is yet to come|publisher=MoneyWeek|date=March 3, 2015}}{{cite web|last1=Wiggins|first1=Addison|title=When Genius Fails Again|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2015/06/29/when-genius-fails-again/|work=Forbes|accessdate=December 1, 2016|date=June 29, 2015}}
