The Case for Gold

The Case for Gold covers the history of gold in the United States, arguing that its breakdown was caused by governments. It explains the merit of having sound money: prices reflect market realities, the government stays in check, and the people retain their freedom. This book holds up as an excellent blueprint for moving beyond paper money and into the age of sound money. In particular, The Case for Gold favors complete monetary freedom to use any commodity as money, to make contracts in any money, and an end to the monopolization and printing power of the Federal Reserve.
