About This Book

A comic, satirical manual presented by a boastful narrator who prescribes debt as an art and a way of life, mixing mock-serious preface, chaptered maxims, and amusing prescriptions for living on credit. The text parodies legal and social attitudes toward money, offers ironic techniques for eluding or placating creditors, and reframes financial improvidence as a public mission, alternating practical-seeming advice, caricatured anecdotes, and prophetic exaggeration to critique contemporary economic manners and celebrate a flamboyant, self-styled creditor-defying ethos.
