"Getting money right is the most important thing in economics, and
if anyone can dispel the anxiety and mystery surrounding this
crucial subject, it's Nathan Lewis. He knows economics and money
inside out. More importantly, he writes about the subject lucidly
and insightfully in a soothing and reassuring way."
-- Steve Forbes (from the Introduction)"Easily the most important
book of 2013 ... and the best book on money that's yet been
written"
-- John Tamny (RealClearMarkets.com)"This is a masterpiece in
simplicity of knowledge. The information is clear and concise
without devolving into the normal clutter of economic morass. ...
This should be required reading for every university economic core
curriculum. And some day it will be -- probably in somewhere
between 10 and 100 years."
-- reader M.K."Nathan Lewis has done it again, only better. His
extensive discussion of both the theory and history of gold-backed
money, and of its repeatedly-failed alternative of paper- or other
fiat, is an as-good-as-it-gets guide to the topic. But Lewis also
puts forth some new arguments here, including an extensive
discussion of how countries can enjoy the benefits of stable money
without first accumulating a large gold reserve ... Lewis's
outstanding new contribution to this essential discussion could
represent the tipping point in the debate, convincing enough
sensible observers to more actively pursue and support a
restoration of gold-backed money in the US and elsewhere."
-- John Butler, author of The Golden Revolution (full review
here)George Gilder recommended Gold: the Monetary Polaris as "one
of three books he would give to Janet Yellen."
"Nathan Lewis in Gold: The Monetary Polaris describes in lapidary
terms the properties of stable money."
