About this listen
There are factors that produce immense profits and these occur rarely. Investors stand at a unique point in monetary history where the death of paper currencies on a global scale is taking place before their eyes. Because most are frozen into inside-the-box thinking, few investors will ride the next move as silver (and gold) skyrocket in the years ahead. In fact the primary purpose of this book is to educate the listener as to why there is no way out of the financial morass created by the financial elite. We have reached the point where the savvy few understand what is happening and take action, while the rest are left watching, thinking the precious metals bull market is dead. The authors explore when to expect the next bull market to begin and why, how the 2008 financial crisis has been "papered over" and what to watch for going forward. The real supply and demand looking at both industrial and monetary demand. Money and banking - what fractional reserve banking means to currency and bullion. The best surest method to stay in the profit zone and not worry about the wild price swings. How to pick a mining company - this information is priceless. Most who are taught this methodology have a degree in finance, but we break it down for the average investor. The silver manipulation story - the facts, more facts, and the irrefutable facts. The biggest concern of all investors: The debt bomb!

This is an updated version of the book that accurately predicted the global stock market crash of 2008, the bursting of the real estate bubble, and Ben Bernanke's unprecedented overreaction via quantitative easing programs. First published in 2008, the book quickly became a best seller not just for its timely insight into precious metals investment but for its amazingly accurate prediction of a "roller-coaster crash"—the manipulated whipsaw between inflation, deflation, and back again.

The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the COVID pandemic is the worst economic crisis in US history. Most fired employees will remain redundant. Bankruptcies will be common, and banks will buckle under the weight of bad debts. Deflation, debt, and demography will wreck any chance of recovery, and social disorder will follow closely on the heels of market chaos. The happy talk from Wall Street and the White House is an illusion. The worst is yet to come.

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

Today, your favorite products are missing from store shelves, caught in supply chain limbo somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. But what does this supply chain disruption look like six months, or even three years, from now? While we hope that post-pandemic recovery will absolve these issues, the reality is that digital currency, meme stonks, and social media can’t solve the age-old problem of producing and moving physical goods across oceans and continents. Jim Rickards argues that consumer frustration is only the tip of a large, menacing iceberg that threatens global economic collapse.

What goes up, must come down. As any student of financial history knows, the dizzying heights of the stock market can't continue indefinitely - especially since asset prices have been artificially inflated by investor optimism around the Trump administration, ruinously low interest rates, and the infiltration of behavioral economics into our financial lives. The elites are prepared, but what's the average investor to do?

But it is also much more, having become a fundamental influence on modern “libertarian” economics of the type espoused by Ron Paul and others. Called by H. L. Mencken “one of the few economists in history who could really write,” Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work.

When Money Dies is the classic history of what happens when a nations currency depreciates beyond recovery. In 1923, with its currency effectively worthless (the exchange rate in December of that year was one dollar to 4,200,000,000,000 marks), the German republic was all but reduced to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, artworks, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staples such as bread; a cinema ticket could be bought for a lump of coal; and a bottle of paraffin for a silk shirt....

Few would argue with the fact that on many fronts, we are a world in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis, or a moral crisis. The two sides to crisis are danger and opportunity. Robert Kiyosaki's new book, Second Chance: for Your Money and Your Life, uses the lessons from the past and a brutal assessment of the present to prepare listeners to see - and seize - the future.

Story
In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics.

The years since the Great Crisis of 2008 have seen slow growth, high unemployment, falling home values, chronic deficits, a deepening disaster in Europe - and a stale argument between two false solutions, “austerity” on one side and “stimulus” on the other. Both sides and practically all analyses of the crisis so far take for granted that the economic growth from the early 1950s until 2000 - interrupted only by the troubled 1970s - represented a normal performance.

Even after the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, America is still beset by the depredations of an oligarchy that is now bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks, which together control assets amounting to more than 60 percent of the country's gross domestic product, these financial institutions (now more emphatically "too big to fail") continue to hold the global economy hostage.

Story
The finance sector of Western economies is too large and attracts too many of the smartest college graduates. Financialization over the past three decades has created a structure that lacks resilience and supports absurd volumes of trading. The finance sector devotes too little attention to the search for new investment opportunities and the stewardship of existing ones, and far too much to secondary-market dealing in existing assets. Regulation has contributed more to the problems than the solutions.

Consider the $20 bill. It has no more value, as a simple slip of paper, than Monopoly money. Yet even children recognize that tearing one into small pieces is an act of inconceivable stupidity. What makes a $20 bill actually worth $20? In the third volume of his best-selling Naked series, Charles Wheelan uses this seemingly simple question to open the door to the surprisingly colorful world of money and banking.

Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance. Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it's the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it's the chains of labor. Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress.

Raghuram Rajan was one of the few economists who warned of the global financial crisis before it hit. Now, as the world struggles to recover, it's tempting to blame what happened on just a few greedy bankers who took irrational risks and left the rest of us to foot the bill. In Fault Lines, Rajan argues that serious flaws in the economy are also to blame, and warns that a potentially more devastating crisis awaits us if they aren't fixed.

A national best-seller, Dead Aid unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined - and millions continue to suffer. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, Dambisa Moyo offers a bold new road map for financing the development of the world's poorest countries.

History of Silver, Money & Austrian School of Econ
Where does The Silver Manifesto rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's one of the top 5 books I have read all year. The book covers the history of silver's use as money both in antiquity and in modern times. Silver's supply and demand is also covered. The book talks about the Austrian theory of the business cycle. If you have a normal background (Keynesian) in business or economics from a prestigious business school you should keep an open mind and listen to this book for a different perspective and to challenge your beliefs about banking, money and how the economy is supposed to function. You may not have heard of some of the terms before or the Austrian School of Economics, but the Austrian School predicted the 1929 stock market crash, the 1970s stagflation, the Dot.com bust and the 2008 housing bubble.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The book is non fiction and besides an extensive history of silver and commodity money, the book talks extensively about the Austrian School of Economics, its theories and the viewpoint of what's going on now in the economy from an Austrian perspective.
Have you listened to any of Ryan Brooks’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but the reader is reading very clearly.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The book talks about the misconceptions in academia and the mainstream media and mainstream financial media of deflation. Deflation is NOT evil! I also enjoyed all of the history of money and banking discussed in this book. Many modern financial books neglect going back through the perspective of history to see how now history may not exactly repeat but how it may rhyme now or going forward.
Any additional comments?
This book correctly shows silver's key role throughout history in money and banking systems of many different governments and the long term consequences of governments going onto fiat money and using central banking and fractional reserve banking. If you want to learn about the Austrian School of Economics, the history of money, the supply/demand fundamentals of silver because you own physical silver or precious metal mining stocks or thinking about buying these for insurance or wealth preservation or for investment purposes, you find this book quite enjoyable. Lots of useful information.

Performance was a let down
The content was ok - there was surprisingly little information about silver given the title. The performance was weak. Pronunciation of several words was off (heirs, indices, to name a couple) and he read some lines twice which became annoying.
Overall there is some good information if you are willing to sift through the useless stuff & bad narration.

Good book but narrator is horrible.
The writing of this book is excellent and the content appears to be well researched, properly cited and clearly supported by documented evidence. I have read several books on this subject recently and The Silver Manifesto tracks well with other authoratative material while delving much deeper into the subjects of royalty companies, mining companies and actual detailed analyses of individual mines re: their output, future forecasts and management.
Conversely, the narrator was terrible in all aspects except one; the sound of his voice was pleasant. Otherwise his narration was a grueling, frustrating struggle to remain immersed in the content and continuity of the narrative . The narrator mispronounced an unbelievable number of words, constantly pulling my mind away from the authors narrative in order to understand what the narrator was saying, translating it back into the intent of what the author meant to say and then reinserting it back into the book with properly contextualized meaning. Though this process was lighting fast it was still distracting and caused me to miss a small amount of what followed and constantly pulled me from the flow of the author's writing.
The narrator also had a great deal of difficulty with punctuation; inserting commas where they didn't belong, ignoring commas carefully crafted by the author, inserting periods in random places, and reading right through some of the periods that were intentionally there. The phrasing was also jolting at times with sentence subjects seemingly thrown in as afterthoughts and other sentences lacking pauses or emphasis that would have asded meaning to the writing.
Overall, I give this book an A for content but an F for listening pleasure.
