In Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, Senior Fellow Judy Shelton—former chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy and critically acclaimed monetary economist—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.
Her vision is for not only America, but also for people around the world. Global economic upliftment, she insists, need not come at the expense of domestic prosperity. We can have both—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.
