Ive known Mike Maloney for some time now. One thing I always hear people say about Mike is, That guy is really smart. The reason they say this is because Mike knows a lot of factsand I mean a lot of facts!

Plenty of people know facts. What sets Mike apart from the pack is his un-canny ability to connect the dots. Mike isnt just a smart person. He is a visionary who can take a large amount of information and find usable and important patterns.

The book you have in your hands covers a lot of history. Specifically it covers the history of money, or as Mike would remind us, the history of money and currency, which are two entirely different things. In its pages you will discover how the interaction between money and currency has steered empires throughout time. And yes, it even steers the great American empire today. You will also see how that steering affects you and your financial well-being, and you will learn how to use it to your advantage.

But Mike isnt just a historian. Hes an expert. Specifically, hes an expert on gold and silver. Mikes focus on history has a very important reasoning behind itto make you wealthy.

Mike sees the same thing Ive been seeing for quite some time now: Capitalism in America is sick, on life support, and close to dead. Our problem is a toxic dollar that undermines our economic vitality.

As I write this, the price of gold is flirting with the $1,000 mark. And while Im thrilled to see the gold I purchased for $300 only a few years back now worth over three times the price I bought it for, Im also saddened.

You might be thinking Im crazy to say such a thing. How could realizing such substantial returns on my money possibly disappoint me? But its because I understand that when gold and silver prices rise like they currently are, it means that capitalism is stumbling. And when capitalism stumbles, everyday, hardworking people lose. They lose their life savings. Their house is foreclosed on. They watch their 401(k) loaded with stocks and mutual funds wither away to nothing. Meanwhile, the government bails out big corporations.

Not only that, but rising gold and silver prices also signal a rise in inflation, something Mike covers expertly and in great detail in this book. What that means for you and me is that the price of a gallon of milk keeps going up and up. It means gas prices will continue to rise. It means the basic things we need for existence get more expensive while our purchasing power diminishes. It means we are poorer every day.
