Since the U.S. abandoned a gold-linked dollar more than four decades ago, the world's governments have slid into a dangerous ignorance of the fundamental monetary principles that guided the world's most successful economies for centuries. Today's wrong-headed monetary policies are now setting the stage for a new global economic and social catastrophe that could rival the recent financial crisis and even the horrors of the 1930s. Coauthored by Steve Forbes, one of the world's leading experts on finance, \u003ci\u003eMoney\u003c\/i\u003e shows you why that doesn't need to happen--and how to prevent it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter reading this entertaining and hugely well-informed book, you will know more about money than most people in the highest government positions today. \u003ci\u003eMoney\u003c\/i\u003e explains why a return to sound money is absolutely essential if the U.S. and other nations are ever to overcome today's problems. Stable money, Steve Forbes and Elizabeth Ames argue, is the only way to a true recovery and a stable and prosperous economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday's system of fluctuating \"fiat\" money, in which governments manipulate the value of the dollar and other currencies, has been responsible for the biggest economic failures of recent decades, including the 2008 financial crisis, from whose effects we continue to suffer. The Obama\/Bernanke\/Yellen Federal Reserve and its unstable dollar policies are accelerating our course toward disaster, the authors show, in numerous convincing examples. In \u003ci\u003eMoney\u003c\/i\u003e, Forbes and Ames answer these crucial questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat is the difference between money and value?What is real wealth?\u003cbr\u003eHow does sound money contribute to a well-functioning society?\u003cbr\u003eHow have our money policy errors led to the current problems in global financial markets?\u003cbr\u003eWhat can we do now to reestablish the strength of the dollar and other currencies?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors argue that the most effective way to return to a sound money policy and a healthy economy is to put the dollar back on a gold standard, and they outline the several different forms a gold standard could take. They also share invaluable suggestions for how to preserve our wealth and where to invest our money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoney\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone interested in this crucially important subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eMoney\u003c\/i\u003e clearly illustrates that sound money is an essential foundation for a free and prosperous society and that the Federal Reserve's current policies are a greater threat to the economic future of the U.S. than government deficit spending.
