New addition to the Gilded Opinion Library -
With the Federal Reserve unapologetically running the money printing press at full tilt, we thought it a good time to reprint this important introduction to the dangers of currency debasement. Ron Paul’s Gold, Peace and Prosperity is as timely now as it was when it was first written in 1981. Throughout his distinguished political career as a Congressman from Texas and presidential candidate (1988, 2012), Dr. Paul has consistently made the case for gold both as backing for the currency and as a portfolio hedge/safe haven for American citizens. In keeping with these views, he was instrumental in the introduction of the American Eagle gold and silver coin series in the 1980s. His now famous Congressional exchanges with former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan beginning in the late 1990s mostly centering on the nature of central banking and the role of gold are highly recommended.
