Fair, Not Golden

I think this is a good introduction to the gold market. It definitely exposed me to the different kinds of gold one could buy. I like Mr. Cook's views and will read more of his stuff.
Having said that, this was more of an editorial on the decay of society than the importance of gold. The evils of welfare are discussed more than the subject, which irritates the reader. This was a quick read, and if you're into investing with gold, I recommend it. If one is already strong on the subject, then skip it.

You May Want to Buy Gold the Same Night!

After reading this book, you may feel an overpowering urge to buy some gold the same night!
The author forcefully makes the case that in the near-certain massive economic "meltdown" he predicts, gold may be about the only thing that can save you.
Most [U.S.] readers will already be familiar with the facts about the national debt, consumer credit, and the declining dollar, but here it is all put together with such breadth, clarity, and historic tie-ins as to leave you speechless. In a word, the scenarios -- that are hard to find any argument against -- are "scary"!
The story of gold itself is also fascinating. I had never realized the extent of the sudden U.S. law changes under FDR (who closed the banks) and the national confiscation -- complete with prison sentences! -- that was carried out. Here you'll learn the reasons behind it all and what it accomplished.
The author was (is?) in the gold coin business, so there is naturally that marketing slant in certain parts of the book, but it does not detract from the big picture of the lessons here.
This book is at the top end of books that are thought-provoking, informative, and useful in a practical way in your life.
Highly recommended!
