The New Case for Gold

USA Today bestseller and Wall Street Journal business bestseller

They say John Maynard Keynes called gold a "barbarous relic."
They say there isn t enough gold to support finance and commerce.
They say the gold supply can t increase fast enough to support world growth.

They re wrong.

In this bold manifesto, bestselling author and eco­nomic commentator James Rickards steps forward to defend gold as both an irreplaceable store of wealth and a standard for currency.
 
Global political instability and market volatility are on the rise. Gold, always a prudent asset to own, has become the single most important wealth preserva­tion tool for banks and individuals alike. Rickards draws on historical case studies, monetary theory, and personal experience as an investor to argue that:
 
The next financial collapse will be exponentially bigger than the panic of 2008. 
The time will come, sooner rather than later, when there will be panic buying and only central banks, hedge funds, and other big players will be able to buy any gold at all.
It s not too late to prepare ourselves as a nation: there s always enough gold for a gold standard if we specify a stable, nondeflationary price.
 
Providing clear instructions on how much gold to buy and where to store it, the short, provocative argu­ment in this book will change the way you look at this barbarous relic forever.

Rezension:

The New Case for Gold reminds us that wayward policies bring about a search for money that is good as gold. What better than gold itself?
Wall Street Journal

This excellent book proves that, contrary to the propaganda of fiat currency apologists, gold is real money. Rickards makes a compelling case for why those looking for a way to protect themselves and their families from economic chaos created by central bankers should consider gold.  
Ron Paul, former Congressman and Presidential candidate
 
In his latest book, James Rickards gifts us once again with his clarity of prose, depth of experience and sound analysis. The New Case for Gold discards tired and politically driven criticisms of gold, instead offering an illuminating, original argument for gold as a critical contender in today\'s money games. The most important book on gold yet.
Nomi Prins, author of All The Presidents Bankers
 
We can t trust the Federal Reserve to do the honest workthat Jim Rickards has done in writing this book. When the monetary system finally fails, there will be a flight to the only money that s left in the system and that will be gold. Essential reading.  
  David A. Stockman, Former OMB Director and author of The Great Deformation

[Rickards] present[s] compelling evidence that many of the world s leading monetary authorities implicitly, at least, treat gold as quite possibly in the future, the key money.
