The New Case for Gold Review: Awesome book that is a must read! Worth more than its weight in gold. - I read Currency Wars, another book written by the author, a while ago. Even though I was impressed by the concept the author presented in that book, I was turned off by his writing style. In that book, the author spent chapters and chapters bragging about himself telling us how great and important he was, perhaps to establish credibility. The reader had to sift through the fluff to get to the gems of wisdom. As you probably already know, that book made the author famous and currency wars is now a widely understood and often quoted concept in mainstream media. This book is very different in that regard. It is concise, to the point, mostly factual and the arguments that the author presents are based on sound economic principles. There is very minimal bragging by the author so hardly any fluff. I was able to finish the book within a weekend reading off an on during the day. I am utterly impressed by the author. He is not only knowledgeable but also a genius who can use his knowledge to visualize the future. His arguments are extremely sound. It is amazing how he explains complex economic concepts in simple language for the regular reader. Most readers will not even realize that he is using Masters or PHD level economic concepts to explain what is happening and what will happen. I have a master's in economics from a top school in the nation so I understand the concepts he is using to arrive at certain conclusions. Another reason I was impressed by this great man is his acknowledgement that he may be wrong. That is the mark of a wise and experienced person because you really never know what will happen in the future. He presents various scenarios on what will unfold in the future without making predictions with certainty. He only suggests that you put 10% of your investible assets in gold. Why? Because he says that even if he is wrong, you will lose minimal amount of money. Even though I have more or less come to the same conclusions as the author and believe that what he is saying is probably right, it is possible that the future may unfold differently. Regardless, read this book! It is worth your time and money. Mr. James Rickards, has done an amazing job this time! Review: Rickards' best book yet! - In this latest manifesto and companion volume to his two previous best sellers, Currency Wars and The Death of Money, James Rickards provides cogent arguments for owning gold in any and all economic environments, while demonstrating once again that he is a master storyteller. He begins by debunking the six common reasons that critics cite in making a case against gold as money, taking us through the periodic table of the elements, explaining complex systems, and giving the reader a crash course in economics, discussing nominal and real interest rates, inflation, deflation, and monetary policy. His succinct description of the structure and operations of the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank for International Settlements, the IMF, the London Bullion Market Association, COMEX, ETF’s and hedge funds, among others, and the historical, current, and future possible manipulation of the price of gold is fascinating, if not terrifying. Rickards has a unique ability to deconstruct and reduce basic arguments and concepts, setting accepted paradigms on their heads while making a case for volatility, chaos and collapse. His characteristic deadpan humor makes this book a pleasure to read (his anthropomorphized water molecules that he uses to explain why old models don’t work is a personal favorite), and I am grateful for his advice on how to be prepared for dire events and the collapse of the international monetary system. His message is clear: while diversification is crucial to any investment strategy, preserving wealth and planning for the oncoming chaos should prompt us all to act—don’t delay, don’t walk, but RUN to your nearest gold dealer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #170,828 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Commodities Trading (Books) #75 in Money & Monetary Policy (Books) #318 in Introduction to Investing | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,653) | | Dimensions | 5.7 x 0.8 x 8.6 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1101980761 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1101980767 | | Item Weight | 10.9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | April 5, 2016 | | Publisher | Portfolio | ## Images ![The New Case for Gold - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lGcJHaUqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome book that is a must read!

He also reveals the fascinating story of how in 1934 the U.S. government apparently seized over 8,000 tons of gold from the Fed and gave it to the U.S. Treasury, leaving behind "gold certificates" that are still on the Fed's balance sheet to this day. He hypothesizes that this debt of gold is the reason why the Treasury stopped selling gold in 1980. Why won't the U.S. government permit an audit of the supposed 8,000 tons? Rickards maintains that the gold is "safe and sound" and offers a novel excuse for the refusal to audit: allowing an audit would imply that gold is important. "By refusing to do an audit, the government maintains the pretense that gold is trivial." That sounds implausible to me, and I continue to believe that the simplest explanation is most likely to be true: the gold either isn't physically there in the vaults, or if it is there has been leased to bullion banks that have in turn loaned out each ounce a hundred times over and are unlikely to be able to return it to the Treasury. Rickards says gold is going to go to at least $10,000, and worries that conventional brokerage and bank accounts are vulnerable to Putin's team of hackers, but then strangely recommends only a 10% allocation to gold. What are we supposed to do with the other 90% of our savings? He is vague on that point. He recommends fine-art and land, but it seems to me that these are not only unsuitable for average savers, but occupy the same bubble territory as equities and bonds. Would anyone argue that stocks offer a potential 8x upside at this point with little downside as gold does? Rickards also says that he recommends "certain hedge funds and alternative investments …" but offers no details. The book is not a "how to" guide that offers clear step-by-step instructions for acquiring gold. Physical Gold Fund (where Rickards is an adviser) and Sprott are mentioned briefly, as are different vaulting companies. But no details are provided that would help people new to gold get started. The easiest and most economical way to save in gold - the BitGold subsidiary of GoldMoney - is not mentioned, although in Rickards' defense that service is only a year old. In spite of these deficits, though, the book offers a great deal of useful information about gold and definitely succeeds in making the case that everyone should be looking very closely at gold. ## Frequently Bought Together - The New Case for Gold - Aftermath: Seven Secrets of Wealth Preservation in the Coming Chaos - The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/26098516-the-new-case-for-gold](https://www.desertcart.us/products/26098516-the-new-case-for-gold) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
