Złoty spisek

Rate this book
W Złotym spisku Ferdinand Lips zajmuje się chyba najczęściej dyskutowanym i najsłabiej rozumianym zagadnieniem: pieniądzem. Autorowi należy się podziw, ponieważ w ten sposób umożliwił nam lepsze zrozumienie kwestii o zasadniczym znaczeniu. Przedstawił nie tylko zarys historyczny, ale i ostatnie trendy, opisał także swoje osobiste doświadczenia, zdobyte jako szwajcarski bankier. Jego długa kariera w bankowości przydaje tej książce siły wyrazu i klarowności. Lips nie koncentruje się wyłącznie na własnych poglądach. Z wyjątkowym pietyzmem przedstawia wypowiedzi oraz poglądy innych autorów i bankierów - wielu z nich zalicza się do grona jego przyjaciół. W gruncie rzeczy byli to ludzie, którzy próbowali wskazać drogę ku solidnemu systemowi finansów oraz rzetelnej bankowości, jednocześnie zaś zwracali uwagę na fatalne błędy, jakie w twej sprawie bywały popełniane.

Published in 2001, during the dotcom crash, but well before the 2007-2008 financial crisis and more than another decade before Covid, the book is eerily accurate on the problems that have accumulated due to abandoning hard money; in this case gold. A lot of the characteristics of gold apply to Bitcoin, with Bitcoin being a second chance for people to have hard money which is applicable to the digital age. Of particular interest in the book is how the Swiss blindly followed the dictates of the fiat governments and voluntarily gave up their special status as the last great holdout with a strong currency.

I'd say 4 for financial experts and strategists, and 3 for the curious layman. I stand in the middle, in a 3.5

The book gets quite interesting when the author starts talking about backstage plots to demonetize gold in the 90's

Mr Lips should get more attention from the Austrian community.

A good book on the history of gold prices in the last 100 years. These topics are also and better covered into some other books on central banking, Fed which are there in my reading list hence I have given an OK rating.

However, if you have not read those books, this will be more interesting.

The Gold war continues silently.....
A must read for people to understand , how fiat currency in circulation widely is nothing but a piece of paper and doesn't hold any value compared to gold standard...
