1: A Must Read ! - Answered Numerous Questions Regarding the Swiss Franc
First, I have to commend Mr. Lips for authoring a great book for those of us interested in the true history of how the gold standard was eventually eliminated as a stabilizing limiter for the money supply throughout the world. It was heartbreaking to find that even the Swiss were hoodwinked into accepting a new Constitution that now makes the Swiss Franc unreliable as a store of value.
Second, being at least 25% Swiss by heritage, I have always had great respect for their direct democracy, common sense, defensive preparedness, high quality production, and neutral political policies that have helped save many lives. It is shocking to me to find that even the Swiss are nearly as gullible as Americans, and unwilling or ignorant of the trap that has been layed for them by the globalists. I disagree with all the comments that claim that the instigators of this atrocity are only foolish or misguided, but submit that they are extremely well informed organized criminals at the top of the pyramid.
Third, although I was actually looking for an out of print book by a similar name when I came across this book and the F.A.M.E. website, it was like finding a "nugget of gold" among the numerous books available. The older title by a different author starts with money history back in China with Ghangis Khan passing out Mulberry tree bark government notes that had to be used without question or death was the official alternative. All precious metal and mineral imports had to pass through the Khan's treasury with the highest prices paid in worthless bark notes that could then be used to purchase goods from the common folk. Surprise, the Khan became extraordinarily wealthy until driven out of China. This book picks up much later in "Western" history, and proceeds to a much more current state of affairs.
The lack of a fair gold standard is only one part of the problem we face today, but was a real obsticle to the truly insane & self-righteous policies of globalism (communism); elitism & privatization (fascism); population control by war, disease & famine (hypocracy); and theory that the most secretive, selfish & greedy among us will inherit the Earth.
I did not care much for History or Economics during my years of advanced education, but now that history is definately repeating itself and the propaganda & lies are more obvious, I have become passionate at digging for the true motives behind the previously puzzling decisions made by Presidents and world leaders. As this book clearly presents, there are few, if any, coincidences and unplanned decisions at the global level.
For an example of questions this book does not answer, who was John Law? Who was behind this Scottsman who persuaded the Regent of France to accept paper currency? We all need to look beyond the "Front" men to the puppet masters.

2: World economics in layman's terms
This book was very interesting and I am not a university graduate. It helped to flesh out my understanding of economics as it applies to my investments in gold bullion, junior gold mines and exploration companies.It also gave me a fuller understanding of inflation and consequently, my investment strategies in this turbulent and seemingly unpredictable world.

3: Classic Rallying Call to Gold!
This excellent book brings up to date similar content to that of Murray N. Rothbard's classic "What Has Government Done to Our Money & The Case for a 100% Gold Dollar". It is essential reading for anyone concerned about what must be done to return the world's financial system to one of Sound Money, i.e. return to the Gold Standard.
Mr. Lips gives an excellent account of the history of gold-as-money through to the government contrived exit from the gold standard and even a modern example, via the debacle of the Swiss being bullied to come off the gold standard in the mid 1990's, to ensure the reader has complete understanding of the process that has been developing.
Furthermore the author also covers the now understood manipulation of the gold price over the last 20 years or so by the Central Banks and Bullion Banks.
I highly recommend this work and that you prepare yourself for the coming mega-depression: Buy Gold Bullion(1 oz coins or bars), store it secretly & safely(not in a safe deposit box!) to protect your wealth and to benefit from the inevitable explosion in the price of Gold!!!

4: Info That Needs to be Known
This is a great book. It has a lot of information which needs to be known by those who are interested in preserving their wealth and the reasons why. Central Banks know the truth, who also don't want you to know it, and you should!

5: What can you expect from a former Banker?
I liked Gold Wars, it was a very accurate book on how the Financial Banking community makes a war on Gold, because gold reveals the truth about money, because gold is true money. The bias of the author, however, is evident in that he is a former banker, and it's going to naturally be difficult for him to expose all of the frauds of the banking system. Fractional reserve lending is not the only banking fraud, but also usury, which is charging interest. For a more biblical view on gold and silver, see my site, silverstockreport.com
