Inside story of central bank's attempts to control gold,
By D. Buxman "A Seeker of Truth" (Pueblo, CO United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money As Seen From A Swiss Perspective (Paperback)
The G-7 nations have been trying to artificially suppress the price of gold for years, ever since these nations went off the gold standard and elected, under U.S. pressure, to rely solely on fiat money. The problems that we are currently seeing with the global economy are a direct result of this short-sighted, ignorant policy that destroys the economies of developing nations, many of which are gold producers, and threatens the stability of the economic structure of the entire planet. Ferdinand Lips does a remarkable job of explaining a complex subject in an interesting and lucid manner. Especially of interest is his explanation of the campaign of blackmail that was used to force Switzerland into the IMF and off the gold standard. Excellent reading!

This review is from: Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money As Seen From A Swiss Perspective (Paperback)
This book goes a long way towards explaining the root of unfolding financial crises in international finance today. Authorities in the field of investing are saying this book is going to be remembered as a classic that explains the old gold standard, the current collapse of fiat currencies, and what the future may hold.Economic implosions have often led to world wars in the past, and are certainly playing a role in the present prelude to World War III. This book is much more than a dry economic treatise!

At Peace with GOLD WARS,
By Alan (SURREY, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money As Seen From A Swiss Perspective (Paperback)
Over the past fifty years or so, I've read a goodly number of well written books, and Ferdinand Lips' GOLD WARS hits within the top ten of my all-time best reads.His 20th century historical review of the gradual, global abandonment of gold as a monetary standard was enlightening in itself. What was a true eye-opener for me, though, was Mr. Lips' accompanying commentary on the who, why, and how behind this regressive step. Also illuminating were his comments, and those of others quoted, on the pitfalls of fiat currencies backed by no real checks and balances, and supported only by the public's trust in their country's central bank. Projected into the future, Mr. Lips revelations, thoughts and warnings could very well prove prophetic of what is headed our way should we not again link the timeless value of gold to our money systems. In my opinion, this book is a truly great expose'..
