5.0 out of 5 stars The book to own, December 2, 2008
By D. Morris (Durban, South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Over the past 4 years I've made the study of finance, economics, geo-politics, money and taxation my journey. In doing so I've read countless white papers, comment and around 140 books on the varying subjects, all in an effort to understand 'what is going on'. In an effort to understand the current tertiary teachings, I've also succesfully obtained the CFP (Certified Financial Planner) qualification. And I've found they teach so much incorrectly, especially inflation, its causes and effects.

If I was ever restricted to owning one book, and that one book was to provide the most amount of understanding of a subject, 'Dying of Money' would be that book. I managed to obtain a copy some 18 months ago, and I consider it the pearl of my book collection.

It is well-written, concise, clear, and everytime I've read the book (6 times to date) I've managed to find a new understanding of the subject. Personally I believe that this book should be reprinted and should be made a set-work for secondary school scholars.

Own it. It really is that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please reprint this book!, September 23, 2008
By Robert G. "bluepencil" (Carrboro, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
Vivid and thorough recounting of the influence of inflation throughout history with special emphasis on the U.S. economy and the hyperinflationary events of the 1920s in the Weimar Republic, Germany.
I first heard of this financial investor's classic from Jim Puplava during his stimulating investors' podcast, Financial Sense, where he frequently cites this book and evokes the parallels to the eye-popping events in today's 21st-century economy. Along with Adam Fergussson's When Money Dies (also recommended by Puplava) this book truly deserves to be reprinted. Anyone? Parenthetically, it is indeed ironic(and would undoubtedly be amusing to its author)that this book now goes for upward of $200 U.S. Who needs any further proof than that that we are in the beginnings of a hyperinflation?
