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 The New Case for Gold, James Rickards explains why gold is one of the safest assets for investors in times of political instability and market volatility, and how every investor should look to add gold to his or her portfolio. Drawing on historical case studies, monetary theory and his personal experience as an investor, Rickards argues that gold should be a part of any prudent investor's portfolio. James Rickards is the bestselling author of Currency Wars and The Death of Money. He is a portfolio manager at West Shore Group and an adviser on international economics and financial threats to the Department of Defence and the US intelligence community.

James Rickards is one of my favorite authors when it comes to the economy. One of my favorite books from him is Currency Wars. With that said, this book was helpful in that I learned more about precious metals and the arguments for (and against) their use with respect to the backing of a monetary standard.

This book should be of interest to all serious investors and anyone interested in financial affairs, especially the international monetary system. but even a person with only a passing interest in economics, should find it an informative read.
Significant movements in the price of gold affect us all, as they reflect what is happening in money markets and to the economies of the world. Rickards, the author of this work, presents us with a wealth of information about everything to do with the yellow metal - how it affects capital markets and vice versa. His analysis of why so many countries, particularly Russia and China, are adding to their gold reserves is, in my view, objective thought-provoking, and illuminating. He reminds us that there are only about 35,000 tons of 'official gold' in the whole world. What is 'official' gold? Which countries own most of it? What is its role in the monetary system? These and related issues are discussed with clarity in this absorbing book in language everyone can understand.
