Why Gold?: The One Sure Cure for Inflation and Economic Tyranny

Why Gold? explains how our crises of unemployment, business failures, healthcare, bail outs, inflation, federal debt, and big government are intentionally created by the government using inflation, the fractional reserve banking system, and deficit spending (a scheme for the hidden confiscation of wealth) made possible by the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve has usurped power and control over our country. The Fed has caused severe boom and bust periods through its monetary policies. Inflation cannot be a permanent policy because it must result in a complete annihilation of the dollar. This country cannot remain free if the Federal Reserve is permitted to exist.

Why Gold? explains why the Constitution made only gold and silver money. The gold standard is the best proven method to ensure economic and political freedom for America.

Leslie Snyder Bates simplifies the understanding of gold, money, and freedom. Why Gold? offers a plan for economic stability through a successful return to the gold standard. Without returning to the gold standard, Bates asserts, inflation will cost us our freedom and individual rights.

Why Gold? was the first of three books written by Leslie Snyder Bates. She says she wrote Why Gold? 35 years ago to help dispel the ignorance about the nature of money, inflation, and tyranny, but economic ignorance is still widespread. Why Gold? is more relevant today than ever before as the country's economic crisis worsens while Congress (with the Federal Reserve) passes increasingly detrimental legislation. Leslie Bates' deep love for her country has prompted her to re-write Why Gold? in support of those individuals and organizations that are strenuously working to return the United States back to its Constitutional moral, economic and political foundation and heritage. Mrs. Bates has raised two sons and currently resides with her husband in Kennewick.
