Financial crises…
Price-spikes…
Recurring cycles of inflation…
Everyone agrees that our economy has seen better days.
But how do we get back to those better days?
Is the devaluing dollar something we have to accept as the new normal?
Must global economic progress always come at the expense of domestic prosperity?
Have we simply given up on money that’s actually worth anything?
In this groundbreaking new work on the American dollar, Senior Fellow Judy Shelton—former chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy and critically acclaimed monetary economist—gives a resounding answer to all these questions and more.
In Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, Shelton charts the course to a brighter future for the American dollar with rare clarity and moral courage. One of the few economists bold enough to challenge the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve, she emphasizes how today’s policies enrich elites at the expense of—you guessed it—poor and middle-class Americans. That, Shelton insists, must end…
…and it can end. Easily.
But Shelton doesn’t stop there. Her vision is for not only America, but also for people around the world. We can have global and domestic prosperity—but not without a sound and stable U.S. currency.
This is no curmudgeonly demand to return to the gold standard of yore. Neither is it a demand to return to the Bretton Woods era. Instead, Shelton offers something new: an explanation of how we can use gold for a new international monetary order.
If you care about the poor, rich, and everyone in between, you have to read this book.
