The Big Reset : War on Gold and the Financial Endgame – By Willem Middelkoop

downloadExploring gold’s traditional role as the anchor of financial systems,  Willem Middelkoop traces the secret war against it to the 1960s, when central banks across the US and Europe agreed to pool their gold reserves in the London Gold Pool. He then outlines the history of gold-backed currencies and today’s state-issued money that has no value in terms of an objective fixed standard. These fiat currencies have allowed many governments to print huge numbers of bonds to finance their budgets. But Middelkoop warns that piling debt on to balance sheets is nota sustainable way to revive the world’s economy: ultimately, he argues, it will lead to a collapse and a subsequent reset of our global financial system.

“This is a wonderful history and description of gold and it would be in everyone’s interest to understand it’s conclusion.”
Eric Sprott, CEO, Sprott Asset Management

“An outstanding book about the coming transfer of the economic world power due to the decline of the world supremacy of the United States. Written from an economic point of view it leads to the same result as in the famous book of Samuel Huntington The Clash of Civilizations. Willem Middelkoop’s best book so far.” Louk de Wilde, former CEO Fortis Switzerland
