**USA Today bestseller and Wall Street Journal business bestseller** They say John Maynard
Keynes called gold a barbarous relic. They say there isn't enough gold to support finance and
commerce. They say the gold supply can't increase fast enough to support world growth. They're
wrong. In this bold manifesto bestselling author and economic commentator James Rickards
steps forward to defend gold-as both an irreplaceable store of wealth and a standard for
currency. Global political instability and market volatility are on the rise. Gold always a
prudent asset to own has become the single most important wealth preservation tool for banks
and individuals alike. Rickards draws on historical case studies monetary theory and personal
experience as an investor to argue that: • The next financial collapse will be exponentially
bigger than the panic of 2008. • The time will come sooner rather than later when there will
be panic buying and only central banks hedge funds and other big players will be able to buy
any gold at all. • It's not too late to prepare ourselves as a nation: there's always enough
gold for a gold standard if we specify a stable nondeflationary price. Providing clear
instructions on how much gold to buy and where to store it the short provocative argument in
this book will change the way you look at this barbarous relic forever.
