“The New Case for Gold reminds us that wayward policies bring about
a search for money that is good as gold. What better than gold
itself?”
—Wall Street Journal
“This excellent book proves that, contrary to the propaganda of
fiat currency apologists, gold is real money. Rickards makes a
compelling case for why those looking for a way to protect
themselves and their families from economic chaos created by
central bankers should consider gold.”
—Ron Paul, former Congressman and Presidential candidate
“In his latest book, James Rickards gifts us once again with his
clarity of prose, depth of experience and sound analysis. The New
Case for Gold discards tired and politically driven criticisms of
gold, instead offering an illuminating, original argument for gold
as a critical contender in today's money games. The most important
book on gold yet.”
—Nomi Prins, author of All The Presidents’ Bankers
“We can’t trust the Federal Reserve to do the honest work that Jim
Rickards has done in writing this book. When the monetary
system finally fails, there will be a flight to the only money
that’s left in the system—and that will be gold. Essential
reading.”
—David A. Stockman, Former OMB Director and author
of The Great Deformation
“[Rickards] present[s] compelling evidence that many of the world’s
leading monetary authorities implicitly, at least, treat gold as —
quite possibly in the future, the key — money.”
—Forbes
