At Peace with GOLD WARS, Aug 1 2002
This review is from: Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money as Seen From a Swiss Perspective (Paperback)
Over the past fifty years or so, I've read a goodly number of well written books, and Ferdinand Lips' GOLD WARS hits within the top ten of my all-time best reads. His 20th century historical review of the gradual, global abandonment of gold as a monetary standard was enlightening in itself. What was a true eye-opener for me, though, was Mr. Lips' accompanying commentary on the who, why, and how behind this regressive step. Also illuminating were his comments, and those of others quoted, on the pitfalls of fiat currencies backed by no real checks and balances, and supported only by the public's trust in their country's central bank. Projected into the future, Mr. Lips revelations, thoughts and warnings could very well prove prophetic of what is headed our way should we not again link the timeless value of gold to our money systems. In my opinion, this book is a truly great expose'..

PROVING THE GOLD CONSPIRACY, Mar 7 2004
This review is from: Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money as Seen From a Swiss Perspective (Paperback)
This book is one of the best documented narratives of how the gold market is being manipulated by the global instititutions. Much to their demise, this manipulation will likely cause fundamentally chaotic swings in price, demand, and supply. If you want a deep drive into the machinations of how prices and supply are tweeked to the delight of banks and national monetary systems, this book is a great place to start. - Mason Johnson of www.tomorrowsgold.com

A NEW BORN GOLD BIBLE, Aug 20 2003
This review is from: Gold Wars: The Battle Against Sound Money as Seen From a Swiss Perspective (Paperback)
...P>The Oil-shocks were caused not by an energy-crisis but by fiat-money. The oil prices were not raised by the oil-exporting countries because they were "bad people" BUT because they wanted to compensate for the inflated USD which was being printed massively since 1971 (and before). Richard Nixon himself closed the "gold window". The oil-exporting-countries raised the price because they noticed that the PETRO-DOLLAR is getting more and more worth-LESS! of course did the higher oil-price lead to MORE inflation but the oil-shocks were NOT the cause of the inflation!! Of course does the economy run on energy... energy is good and important but: ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY in this world !! and thats why ITS ALL ABOUT GOLD!! The book by Mr Lips is one of the best books about our SYSTEM which is a big big EXPERIMENT cause our money is not backed by anything AND the USD is the worlds reserve currency!
