'The War on Gold' is a definitive study of the past, present, and future of the metal that Keynesian economists and political schemers have denounced as a 'barbarous relic.'The war on gold began several centuries ago, when politicians discovered they could print limitless amounts of paper currency for a small fraction of the cost of using gold as money. It has accelerated in recent years...as the U.S. acquired paper debt, deficits, which led to double-dip inflation, and 'internationalists plotted to create a new world order.'Professor Sutton's forecasts for the future are bleak, if the causes for our decline are not understood and steps taken quickly to correct them. The reasons for the impending collapse, and the only course of action that will avoid it, are the subject of this book.
