Summary: A NEW BORN GOLD BIBLE
Review: ...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!
The danger: The USA imports WAY MORE than they export and they pay the rest of the world with USD...the USA is the greatest debtor since the beginning of human kind... the USD is over-valued... what happens next??
the USD will lose and the USA will win!!
They are going to pay back their debts in a couple of years !
How much of it? All of it! How? Easy: they are paying in GOLD!!
How: all the debt will be 50-100% LESS because the USD is losing 50-100% RIGHT NOW!!!!

Gold will explode my dear friends out there!

Summary: Poorly written incoherent rambling
Review: A reader ... recommended this book to me when gold futures first started moving up in value.

I was completely flabbergasted. This the first time I have seen such a critical view of the gold manipulation that goes on around the world. The discussions about the goals and the strategies that the IMF uses are worth purchasing the book alone. In some places the writing meanders, but over all any gold bug will find this a valuable resource.

Review: Come on Mr "reaser from USA". Are u getting paid to write this bad on this book?

You dont know anything about GOLD and economy!!!!

Why I know that? Because you are stupid (or being paid for these bad words)

You wrote:

"Like a typical economist, Lips has everything backwards. The economy doesn't run on money, it runs on ENERGY. The oil shocks wrecked the economy and spiked inflation because without energy, you can't do anything. If you live on a world with no oil but lots of gold, it doesn't matter how much gold you have, your car will never run. Because economists don't understand this, they write 200 page books about what kind of money we use while totally ignoring what massive corporations are doing to our natural resources and the environment."

Summary: gold is a commodity!!!!
Review: Gold is a commodity. Currencies, too!!
When some of it increases in quantity its price decreases and viceversa!! Basta
The German Mark started with zero gold-backing, and was the strongest currency in the world as was the Austrian Schilling!!!
Gold rises these days because the fundamentals are bullish as they are for the whole commodities sector after a 20 year bear-market. Monetary debasing is only one factor.
No gloom and doom, please!!

Summary: At Peace with GOLD WARS
Review: 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'..

Summary: Good apocalyptic vision
Review: The G-7 nations have been trying to artificially suppress the price of gold for years, ever since these nations went off the gold standard and elected, under U.S. pressure, to rely solely on fiat money. The problems that we are currently seeing with the global economy are a direct result of this short-sighted, ignorant policy that destroys the economies of developing nations, many of which are gold producers, and threatens the stability of the economic structure of the entire planet. Ferdinand Lips does a remarkable job of explaining a complex subject in an interesting and lucid manner. Especially of interest is his explanation of the campaign of blackmail that was used to force Switzerland into the IMF and off the gold standard. Excellent reading!

Summary: PROVING THE GOLD CONSPIRACY
Review: 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

Summary: Includes some rarely covered but important material.
Review: This is not a text book, and is written in an odd wandering style, but don't let that put you off! By the time you finish this easy-to-read book you're exposed to a number of important issues of gold and international monetary policy. If you're studying gold to trade gold, futures or gold stocks, don't omit this from your reading list.
