The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System

The Death of Money

"The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the COVID pandemic is the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. Most fired employees will remain redundant. Bankruptcies will be common, and banks will buckle under the weight of bad debts. Deflation, debt, and demography will wreck any chance of recovery, and social disorder will follow closely on the heels of market chaos. The happy talk from Wall Street and the White House is an illusion. The worst is yet to come"--Provided by publisher.

The New Case for Gold

The Global Elites' Secret Plan for the Next Financial Crisis

The Road to Ruin

The Big Drop

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics. At best, they offer the sorry spectacle of countries' stealing growth from their trading partners. At worst, they degenerate into sequential bouts of inflation, recession, retaliation, and sometimes actual violence. Left unchecked, the next currency war could lead to a crisis worse than the panic of 2008. Currency wars have happened before-twice in the last century alone-and they always end badly. Time and again, paper currencies have collapsed, assets have been frozen, gold has been confiscated, and capital controls have been imposed. And the next crash is overdue. Recent headlines about the debasement of the dollar, bailouts in Greece and Ireland, and Chinese currency manipulation are all indicators of the growing conflict. As James Rickards argues in Currency Wars, this is more than just a concern for economists and investors. The United States is facing serious threats to its national security, from clandestine gold purchases by China to the hidden agendas of sovereign wealth funds. Greater than any single threat is the very real danger of the collapse of the dollar itself. Baffling to many observers is the rank failure of economists to foresee or prevent the economic catastrophes of recent years. Not only have their theories failed to prevent calamity, they are making the currency wars worse. The U. S. Federal Reserve has engaged in the greatest gamble in the history of finance, a sustained effort to stimulate the economy by printing money on a trillion-dollar scale. Its solutions present hidden new dangers while resolving none of the current dilemmas. While the outcome of the new currency war is not yet certain, some version of the worst-case scenario is almost inevitable if U.S. and world economic leaders fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors. Rickards untangles the web of failed paradigms, wishful thinking, and arrogance driving current public policy and points the way toward a more informed and effective course of action.

The next financial collapse will resemble nothing in history. . . . Deciding upon the best course to follow will require comprehending a minefield of risks, while poised at a crossroads, pondering the death of the dollar. The U.S. dollar has been the global reserve currency since the end of World War II. If the dollar fails, the entire international monetary system will fail with it. But optimists have always said, in essence, that confidence in the dollar will never truly be shaken, no matter how high our national debt or how dysfunctional our government. In the last few years, however, the risks have become too big to ignore. While Washington is gridlocked, our biggest rivals—China, Russia, and the oil-producing nations of the Middle East—are doing everything possible to end U.S. monetary hegemony. The potential results: Financial warfare. Deflation. Hyperinflation. Market collapse. Chaos. James Rickards, the acclaimed author of Currency Wars, shows why money itself is now at risk and what we can all do to protect ourselves. He explains the power of converting unreliable investments into real wealth: gold, land, fine art, and other long-term stores of value.

A Wall Street Journal bestseller Financial expert, investment advisor and New York Times bestselling author James Rickards shows why and how global financial markets are being artificially inflated--and what smart investors can do to protect their assets What goes up, must come down. As any student of financial history knows, the dizzying heights of the stock market can't continue indefinitely--especially since asset prices have been artificially inflated by investor optimism around the Trump administration, ruinously low interest rates, and the infiltration of behavioral economics into our financial lives. The elites are prepared, but what's the average investor to do? James Rickards, the author of the prescient books Currency Wars, The Death of Money, and The Road to Ruin, lays out the true risks to our financial system, and offers invaluable advice on how best to weather the storm. You'll learn, for instance: * How behavioral economists prop up the market: Funds that administer 401(k)s use all kinds of tricks to make you invest more, inflating asset prices to unsustainable levels. * Why digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are best avoided. * Why passive investing has been overhyped: The average investor has been scolded into passively managed index funds. But active investors will soon have a big advantage. * What the financial landscape will look like after the next crisis: it will not be an apocalypse, but it will be radically different. Those who forsee this landscape can prepare now to preserve wealth. Provocative, stirring, and full of counterintuitive advice, Aftermath is the book every smart investor will want to get their hands on--as soon as possible.

**USA Today bestseller and Wall Street Journal business bestseller** 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 this bold manifesto, bestselling author and eco­nomic commentator James Rickards steps forward to defend gold—as both an irreplaceable store of wealth and a standard for currency. Global political instability and market volatility are on the rise. Gold, always a prudent asset to own, has become the single most important wealth preserva­tion tool for banks and individuals alike. Rickards draws on historical case studies, monetary theory, and personal experience as an investor to argue that: • The next financial collapse will be exponentially bigger than the panic of 2008. • The time will come, sooner rather than later, when there will be panic buying and only central banks, hedge funds, and other big players will be able to buy any gold at all. • It’s not too late to prepare ourselves as a nation: there’s always enough gold for a gold standard if we specify a stable, nondeflationary price. Providing clear instructions on how much gold to buy and where to store it, the short, provocative argu­ment in this book will change the way you look at this “barbarous relic” forever.

In den letzten hundert Jahren ist das internationale Geldsystem schon drei Mal in sich zusammengebrochen, jeweils mit drastischen Folgen wie Krieg, Unruhen und massivem Schaden an der Weltwirtschaft. Doch der nächste Kollaps wird in der Menschheitsgeschichte seinesgleichen suchen. James Rickards zeigt Ihnen, warum der Anker der Weltwirtschaft, der amerikanische Dollar, in Gefahr ist und warum sein Untergang alle anderen Währungen in eine nie gekannte Katastrophe reißen wird: Währungskriege, Deflation, Hyperinflation, Marktzusammenbrüche, Chaos. Während die USA ihre langfristigen Probleme nicht in den Griff bekommen, trachten China, Russland und die ölreichen Nationen des Mittleren Ostens nach einem Ende der verhassten Hegemonialmacht. Doch Rickards sieht auch Licht am Ende des Tunnels: »Es ist noch nicht zu spät sich vorzubereiten. Nationen und Einzelpersonen, die sich vorbereiten, werden diesen Sturm überleben.« Wie Sie sich schützen können zeigt Ihnen James Rickards in seinem neuem New-York-Times-Bestseller.

Der Kollaps unseres internationalen Geldsystems

Die Geldapokalypse

Wenn uns die Geschichte der Finanzmärkte eines gelehrt hat, dann sicherlich, dass sämtliche Höhenflüge meist ein abruptes Ende finden. Heutzutage, wo Aktienkurse nahezu keine Grenzen kennen und die Märkte mit billigem Geld überschwemmt werden, stellt sich unweigerlich die Frage, wann es zum Kollaps kommt. Fraglich ist auch, ob uns die Zentralbanken dann noch retten können, sind doch schon alle ihre Pfeile verschossen. Eher heizen die ruinös niedrigen Zinssätze und künstlich aufgeblähten Finanzmärkte einen alles andere als nachhaltigen Boom an, der schneller zu Ende gehen könnte, als so manchem lieb ist. Und man darf sich sicher sein: Die Eliten sind vorbereitet. Aber was können Sie als Investor tun? James Rickards, einer der renommiertesten Finanzexperten, enthüllt in diesem Buch die wahren Risiken für unser Finanzsystem. Aber er wagt auch einen Blick auf die Zeit nach der Krise und teilt seine Investmentgeheimnisse für das Überstehen des drohenden Kollapses, damit auch Sie als Privatanleger den Sturm überstehen können. Denn diejenigen, die Bescheid wissen, können sich jetzt darauf vorbereiten, ihr Vermögen zu erhalten.

Die sieben Geheimnisse des Vermögenserhalts im kommenden Chaos

Nach dem Kollaps

Robert Kiyosaki

In their first book together, best-selling authors Robert Kiyosaki and James Rickards look to the future and share their insights on how to prepare for and profit from the turbulent times ahead. The symbolism of the raven is complex and while its black plumage and croaking call are often associated with loss or ill omens, ravens have also been deemed to be uncommonly intelligent and the symbol of providence, wisdom, insight, and prophecy. The book title is also a nod to Felix Somary, the banker, social thinker, diplomat and relentless advocate for the integrity of currencies as key to democratic survival--a man known as "The Raven of Zurich"--for his dire but accurate predictions of the future.
