The New Case for Gold

The New Case for Gold

Summary

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 The New Case for Gold, James Rickards explains why gold is one of the safest assets for investors in times of political instability and market volatility, and how every investor should look to add gold to his or her portfolio.

Drawing on historical case studies, monetary theory and his personal experience as an investor, Rickards argues that gold should be a part of any prudent investor's portfolio.

James Rickards is the bestselling author of Currency Wars and The Death of Money. He is a portfolio manager at West Shore Group and an adviser on international economics and financial threats to the Department of Defence and the US intelligence community. He served as facilitator of the first-ever financial war games conducted by the Pentagon.

Reviews

  • Excellent ... 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 US congressman and presidential candidate
