Audio Book Summary

**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.

    The author gives the listener a lot to chew on in a format that does not require heavy note taking but will require a mindless chore with no distractions if one is to multi-task while the audiobook plays. Helpful historical, civic, & government systems lessons to root the author's case for gold as the world economy becomes more volitile/vulnerable advising to keep 10% of one's available assets in "physical" gold--including how to find, store, and access it considerations.

    The book is very excellent. However the narration is too fast and has something to be desired and that area.
