Synopsis
For most of the last three millennia, the world's commercial centers have used one or another variant of a gold standard. It should be one of the best understood of human institutions, but it's not. It's one of the worst understood, by both its advocates and detractors. Though it has been spurned by governments many times, this has never been due to a fault of gold to serve its duty, but because governments had other plans for their currencies beyond maintaining their stability. And so, says Nathan Lewis, there is no reason to believe that the great monetary successes of the past four centuries, and indeed the past four millennia, could not be recreated in the next four centuries. In Gold, he makes a forceful, well-documented case for a worldwide return to the gold standard. Governments and central bankers around the world today unanimously agree on the desirability of stable money, ever more so after some monetary disaster has reduced yet another economy to smoking ruins. Lewis shows how gold provides the stability needed to foster greater prosperity and productivity throughout the world. He offers an insightful look at money in all its forms, from the seventh century B.C. to the present day, explaining in straightforward layman's terms the effects of inflation, deflation, and floating currencies along with their effect on prices, wages, taxes, and debt. He explains how the circulation of money is regulated by central banks and, in the process, demystifies the concepts of supply, demand, and the value of currency. And he illustrates how higher taxes diminish productivity, trade, and the stability of money. Lewis also provides an entertaining history of U.S. money and offers a sobering look at recent currency crises around the world, including the Asian monetary crisis of the late 1990s and the devastating currency devaluations in Russia, China, Mexico, and Yugoslavia. Lewis's ultimate conclusion is simple but powerful: gold has been adopted as money because it works. The gold standard produced decades and even centuries of stable money and economic abundance. If history is a guide, it will be done again. Nathan Lewis was formerly the chief international economist of a firm that provided investment research for institutions. He now works for an asset management company based in New York. Lewis has written for the Financial Times , Asian Wall Street Journal, Japan Times, Pravda, and other publications. He has appeared on financial television in the United States, Japan, and the Middle East., Praise for GOLD "When it comes to international monetary economics, most economists fail to connect the dots. In many cases, they fail to even see them. Gold doesnt suffer these problems. Nathan Lewiss book is a readable account of the present in light of the past for purposes of the future." --Steve H. Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics, The Johns Hopkins University "Gold is the ultimate hedge against crisis and inflation. You cant depend on paper money assets to protect you during a panic. Hard assets are the only guarantee as an insurance policy against bad times. This book gives you the historical perspective to prepare you for the unknown." --Mark Skousen, Editor, Forecasts & Strategies "Gold: The Once and Future Money is a how-to manual for understanding the true nature of money and a guide to the action you should take to protect your wealth." --Byron W. King, Editor, Outstanding Investments "A money payment must involve a tendering of tangible money, gold, or silver, or of a credit instrument entitling the owner to the undoubted right of its redemption, in gold or silver. As Nathan Lewis makes clear, the world, as of the year 2007, does not possess a means of payment. That humanity is unaware of the stupendously important fact that it lives in a world without money is perhaps the most singular feature of our contemporary world." --Hugo Salinas Price, President, Mexican Civic Association Pro Silver "In this delectable tome, Nathan Lewis describes the booms, busts, the bubbles, and the crises in the economies of dozens of countries, from centuries ago to the present day. It is a romp through history, illuminating along the way money in all its forms--from wampum and shells to silver and gold--and details the catastrophic effects of inflation, deflation, floating currencies, and every kind of tax a government functionary could dream to impose on an economy. Gold highlights the folly of human beings throughout history who think the economy is but a machine to be tinkered with and fine-tuned like a Bentley, or worse, a rusty Yugo." --From the Foreword by Addison Wiggin, author, The Demise of the Dollar, Many view the current bull market in gold as a flash in the pan, doomed to fizzle. "Au contraire," say bestselling author Addison Wiggin and award-winning analyst Justice Litle. In this explosive new book, Wiggin and Litle tackle the assertion that gold is but a "barbarous relic" head on., Gold has always been an appealing commodity. This book details what readers need to know in order to profit from the ever-rising opportunities that gold is presenting to investors.
