W przeszłości jako środków płatniczych używano wielu rzeczy: żywego inwentarza, ziarna zbóż, przypraw, muszelek, paciorków, a w dzisiejszych czasach funkcje te pełni papier. Ale tylko dwie rzeczy stanowiły prawdziwy pieniądz: złoto i srebro. Gdy papierowych pieniędzy jest zbyt dużo, wskutek czego trąca one swoja wartość, ludzie zawsze powracają do metali szlachetnych. Wiąże się to zwykle z ogromnym transferem majątku i tylko od Ciebie zależy, czy na tym skorzystasz, czy stracisz. Książka Jak inwestować w złoto i srebro: • Opisuje historię cykli gospodarczych, które czynią złoto i srebro najważniejszym standardem monetarnym. • Ukazuje, jak rząd amerykański napędza inflację, zmniejszając wartość podaży pieniądza i osłabiając zdolność nabywczą amerykańskiego społeczeństwa. • Wyjaśnia, dlaczego metale szlachetne to jedna z najbardziej opłacalnych, najprostszych i najbezpieczniejszych inwestycji. • Podpowiada, gdzie, kiedy i jak zainwestować swoje pieniądze i dzięki temu osiągnąć maksymalne zyski – niezależnie od aktualnego stanu gospodarki. • Zawiera istotne porady dotyczące tego, jak uniknąć pośredników i przejąć kontrolę nad własnymi finansami, osobiście przeprowadzając swoje inwestycje.
