This is an updated version of the book that accurately predicted the global stock market crash of 2008, the bursting of the real estate bubble, and Ben Bernanke's unprecedented overreaction via quantitative easing programs. First published in 2008, the book quickly became a best seller not just for its timely insight into precious metals investment but for its amazingly accurate prediction of a "roller-coaster crash" - the manipulated whipsaw between inflation, deflation, and back again.

Story
The international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: War, civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of the global economy. Now James Rickards, the acclaimed author of Currency Wars, shows why another collapse is rapidly approaching - and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk.

The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the COVID pandemic is the worst economic crisis in US history. Most fired employees will remain redundant. Bankruptcies will be common, and banks will buckle under the weight of bad debts. Deflation, debt, and demography will wreck any chance of recovery, and social disorder will follow closely on the heels of market chaos. The happy talk from Wall Street and the White House is an illusion. The worst is yet to come.

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

As Rickards shows in this frightening, meticulously researched book, governments around the world have no compunction about conspiring against their citizens.

Today, your favorite products are missing from store shelves, caught in supply chain limbo somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. But what does this supply chain disruption look like six months, or even three years, from now? While we hope that post-pandemic recovery will absolve these issues, the reality is that digital currency, meme stonks, and social media can’t solve the age-old problem of producing and moving physical goods across oceans and continents. Jim Rickards argues that consumer frustration is only the tip of a large, menacing iceberg that threatens global economic collapse.

There are factors that produce immense profits and these occur rarely. Investors stand at a unique point in monetary history where the death of paper currencies on a global scale is taking place before their eyes. Because most are frozen into inside-the-box thinking, few investors will ride the next move as silver (and gold) skyrocket in the years ahead. In fact the primary purpose of this book is to educate the listener as to why there is no way out of the financial morass created by the financial elite.

It is abundantly clear that our world is divided into two very different economies. The real one, for the average worker, is based on productivity and results. It behaves according to traditional rules of money and economics. The other doesn’t. It is the product of years of loose money, poured by central banks into a system dominated by financial titans. It is powerful enough to send stock markets higher even in the face of a global pandemic and threats of nuclear war.

Schiff demonstrates how the infusion of billions of dollars of stimulus money has only dug a deeper hole: The United States government simply spends too much and does not collect enough money to pay its debts, and in the end, Americans from all walks of life will face a crushing consequence.

Important Book with Somewhat Misleading Title
- By John on 07-08-12
By: Peter D. Schiff
Publisher's Summary
USA Today best seller and Wall Street Journal business best seller
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, best-selling 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.
Critic Reviews
"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)
“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)
“[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)

Another Masterpiece by James Rickards
James Rickards does it again. I really enjoyed this book. What is unique about the audiobook is that it is actually narrated by Rickards himself. If you're like me, you could listen to this man speak for hours on end. While listening to this book, I often found myself wondering how one can become so well versed on matters ranging from physics to finance to history all in less than one human lifetime. Rickards is brilliant and, if you enjoyed his other books you'll enjoy this one.
One aspect of this book that I particularly enjoy is how Rickards takes subjects as daunting as complexity theory and international finance and discusses them in a manner that less astute individuals, such as myself, can comprehend seamlessly. I could not put this book down and finished in a couple sittings. Above all else, I value the education that Rickards provides in his book. He does it in a way that keeps me interested and entertained... hanging on his every word.

Interesting, but impractical
First, I have to say that I enjoyed Mr. Rickards reading style and I applaud him for narrating his own book. I feel that he made a very compelling and clear argument for having physical gold as part of all investor's portfolios. My only issue with the case that he makes is that his ideas for actually storing gold are ludicrous. He suggests that you stay clear of bank storage of the physical gold and instead use a non-bank storage company (one that is insured - really? - come the end of the world I doubt insurance will be of much worth plus any insurance proceeds would be in worthless currency). He goes on to say that a vault in Texas is a good storage location as even if the roads are closed, it is only a motorcycle ride away from most of the country (I am not making that up, he actually writes that). What he doesn't address is the fact that if the country recedes into that level of chaos, why on earth wouldn't the private storage company employees merely seize the gold themselves? Even if the private storage employees don't seize the gold, how in the heck am I, as middle aged man, going to ride a motorcycle from Michigan to Texas? (I don't even like to fly coach). Also (not surprisingly) I don't own a motorcycle and I am not sure where in Bloomfield Hills I could even buy a motorcycle. Plus with all of my gold in Texas, even if I found a motorcycle (say in Livonia), how would I even pay for it?
I suggest that Mr. Rickards rewrites the 'end of the world' scenario and addresses the storage issue practically. By practically, I mean in a world that has not slipped into anarchy, but has fallen into rates of 10% to 20% inflation (I totally agree with him that the only way to pay off the national debt is to have the it paid off with inflated dollars).

Practical perspective on gold
I enjoyed listening to this book. The topic can be a bit dry at times and I would have liked some advice in the type of physical gold to buy. There was nothing said besides coins over ETFs and futures. Buying mining stock if you have the stomach for it. More comments on eagle v buffalo and billion v just blanks and why would have been nice. That really was my whole purpose for buying the book. I enjoyed listening to the author.

This book is research-based, concise and straight to the point. It was written in a way that was easy to follow, understand, and put into application. I highly recommend all of the books by James Richards! In addition, you will want to check out his monthly paid subscription. I wish that I would have discovered him earlier.

One of the best I've listened to so far!
Mr. Rickards does a superb job explaining the validity of gold, it's role in historical and present global monetary policy, and steps other nations are taking in the gold market. Extremely well researched and presented in such a way as to be easily followed by the reader. This book also presents ways to understand how fragile the global economy is and makes gives practical advise on how to hedge against financial losses through gold.

Perhaps the details are in a different book.
Ultimately, I feel like the book is incomplete. While the author goes through a laundry list of fairly shallow hold critiques and debunks them effectively, he fails to fully describe a global financial system based on gold. The biggest problem is that he doesn't describe how it would function any better than the current system. My limited understanding based on reading some of Barry Eichengreen's work is that metals backed currencies were subject to the same problems of devaluation and currency wars as the current financial system. My perception is that a floating FX system is superior, something that the author dismisses with a one line statement in the book without any deep analysis.

The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the COVID pandemic is the worst economic crisis in US history. Most fired employees will remain redundant.

Deflation, debt, and demography will wreck any chance of recovery, and social disorder will follow closely on the heels of market chaos. The happy talk from Wall Street and the White House is an illusion. The worst is yet to come.

Story
In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

Today, your favorite products are missing from store shelves, caught in supply chain limbo somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. But what does this supply chain disruption look like six months, or even three years, from now? While we hope that post-pandemic recovery will absolve these issues, the reality is that digital currency, meme stonks, and social media can’t solve the age-old problem of producing and moving physical goods across oceans and continents. Jim Rickards argues that consumer frustration is only the tip of a large, menacing iceberg that threatens global economic collapse.

Story
The international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: War, civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of the global economy. Now James Rickards, the acclaimed author of Currency Wars, shows why another collapse is rapidly approaching - and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk.

What goes up, must come down. As any student of financial history knows, the dizzying heights of the stock market can't continue indefinitely - especially since asset prices have been artificially inflated by investor optimism around the Trump administration, ruinously low interest rates, and the infiltration of behavioral economics into our financial lives. The elites are prepared, but what's the average investor to do?

Since 2014, international monetary agencies have been issuing warnings to a small group of finance ministers, banks, and private equity funds: The US government's cowardly choices not to prosecute J.P. Morgan and its ilk and to bloat the economy with a $4 trillion injection of easy credit are driving us headlong toward a cliff. As Rickards shows in this frightening, meticulously researched book, governments around the world have no compunction about conspiring against their citizens.

This is an updated version of the book that accurately predicted the global stock market crash of 2008, the bursting of the real estate bubble, and Ben Bernanke's unprecedented overreaction via quantitative easing programs. First published in 2008, the book quickly became a best seller not just for its timely insight into precious metals investment but for its amazingly accurate prediction of a "roller-coaster crash" - the manipulated whipsaw between inflation, deflation, and back again.

The Great Devaluation is the number one best-selling book that explains why the real crisis facing the world today is not the coronavirus. The real crisis facing the world is explosive government debt and deficits. Governments are now left with no choice but to spend more than they make, borrow more than they can ever repay, and devalue their currencies to cover it all up.

There are factors that produce immense profits and these occur rarely. Investors stand at a unique point in monetary history where the death of paper currencies on a global scale is taking place before their eyes. Because most are frozen into inside-the-box thinking, few investors will ride the next move as silver (and gold) skyrocket in the years ahead. In fact the primary purpose of this book is to educate the listener as to why there is no way out of the financial morass created by the financial elite.

Investing and trading in gold and silver is always a sound idea - and that goes double in a time of unusual market fluctuation. As people look for safe places to diversify their investment risk, you'll likely see the value of your investment go up where other stocks are vulnerable. Gold and silver saw increases in value of 16% and 15% respectively in 2019 - putting them among the top 10 most desirable commodities out there - and are projected to experience even more of a bear market as the dollar wobbles in an uncertain post-COVID world.
