The text presents the character Roboamo Puffista, a self-styled baron and master of living life off of credit, as he shares his insights and strategies for navigating the world of debt. The book's central theme revolves around the celebratory art of borrowing, especially from an increasingly debtor-focused society, and the protagonist aims to elevate the concept of being a "puffista" as a noble pursuit. The opening of the book introduces Roboamo Puffista, who finds himself on the brink of financial ruin, surrounded by overdue debts and creditors. He recounts his background and presents his mission: to share the art of incurring debt without remorse. Puffista humorously examines societal attitudes toward the wealthy and the poor while setting a tone rife with irony about the nature of credit and obligation. He posits that, in the future, the world will overwhelmingly consist of debtors, suggesting the ridiculousness of financial responsibility in a society that thrives on credit. Through his witty commentary, the beginnings of a philosophy emerge that champions the strategies of living lavishly without a tangible means to support such a lifestyle.
