Good as Gold
Includes a new preface by the author. From financial crises, to pandemic price-spikes, to recurring cycles of inflation, everyone agrees: the economy has seen better days. But as soon as pundits and politicians start discussing economics, things get murky. Most books ask more questions than they answer. Most books...but not this one. Judy Shelton--Senior Fellow at Independent Institute, former Chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy, and critically acclaimed monetary economist--has written a book with answers. And not a moment too soon. With clarity and moral courage, Shelton charts the course to a brighter future. She's one of the few economists bold enough to challenge the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve, emphasizing how today's policies enrich elites at the expense of--you guessed it--poor and middle-class Americans. This, Shelton insists, must end. And it can end--easily. But Shelton doesn't stop there. Her vision is for not only America but also for people around the world. Global, economic upliftment, she insists, need not come at the expense of domestic prosperity. We can have both--but not without a sound and stable U.S. currency. And history is very clear on this point. When the U.S. dollar is backed by gold, America prospers, and so does the rest of the world. In this book, Shelton casts a powerful vision that is as revolutionary as it is time-tested...a vision that shows how the future American dollar can perform as good as gold... ...or even better. But this is no curmudgeonly demand to return to the gold standard of yore. Neither is it a demand to return to the Bretton Woods era. Instead, Shelton offers something new: an explanation of how we can use gold for a new international monetary order. Step by step, she lays out how gold can provide a universal measure of value across borders, create new financial opportunities, and dramatically increase prosperity around the world. If you care about the poor, rich, and everyone in between, you have to read this book ... and discover: - how price stability functions as the foundation for productive economic growth; - how political freedom and economic freedom are fundamentally linked ... and how one cannot exist without the other; - how to reconcile the stability of America's domestic currency in a global context; - the proper role of government in the economy; - and much, much more ... Writing with a sober but hopeful voice, Shelton is no ordinary economist. With grace, intellectual rigor, and unmatched passion, this book is a must-read for anyone invested in the future of the American--and global--economy. You'll walk away with more answers than questions--a rare experience for anyone who reads about monetary policy.

A New Banking System
A new banking system presents a critical examination of centralized financial control and proposes a decentralized model rooted in tangible productivity. It challenges the restrictive nature of monopolized banking institutions and explores how economic liberation can be achieved through widespread access to credit. The book underscores the relationship between real assets and currency, shifting the foundation of financial trust from precious metals to practical infrastructure like mortgages and transportation networks. This perspective reframes value not as a static commodity but as something derived from active economic contribution. The author questions the fairness of a system that restricts monetary expansion to elite institutions while advocating for mechanisms that distribute financial power more broadly. By linking capital to widespread, usable assets, the work envisions a stable currency system that promotes individual opportunity and curbs speculative volatility. The text stresses the importance of aligning monetary policy with productivity, and it envisions a future where currency reflects societal utility rather than arbitrary scarcity. In essence, the work argues for an economic structure where credit serves as a tool for empowerment rather than control.

Over 8 million copies sold around the world. The original book from Morgan Housel, the New York Times bestselling author of Same As Ever. As featured on the Dr Chatterjee podcast Feel Better, Live More and the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Government Mandated Price Increases: A Neglected Aspect of Inflation
Government-Mandated Price Increases: A Neglected Aspect of Inflation by Murray L. Weidenbaum takes a look at government policies which, however inadvertently, impose higher costs on private business and, thereby, raise consumer prices. In recent years, partly in an attempt to reach national objectives without spending large amounts of public funds, government has increasingly resorted to a practice that, in effect, transfers public requirements to the private sector. Thus, for example, instead of the public treasury's bearing the full burden of cleaning up the environment or improving highway safety, private decision makers are influenced or required to foot the bill. Weidenbaum notes that the imposition of "socially desirable" requirements on business looks like an inexpensive way to fulfill national objectives: it costs the government almost nothing and therefore seems to add little to the taxpayers' burden. But, he asks, does the nation really get a "free lunch"? He concludes that that while the goals of government regulation may be worthy, the costs show up in higher prices - a "hidden tax" that has simply been shifted from taxpayer to consumer. Murray L. Wiedenbaum (1927-2014) was director of the Center for the Study of American Business at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and an adjunct scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. From 1969 to 1971 he served as assistant secretary of the Treasury for economic policy.

The Gods Must Be Crazy II
Ay Yi Yai Yi! It's halftime, America!Welcome to the intermission of empire, featuring interpretive dances by decaying institutions choreographed by lobbyists holding MBAs in short-termism.Like the infamous Coke bottle in The Gods Must Be Crazy, today's techno-totems-quantum AI supremacy, sovereign digital currencies, and China's Belt-and-Data colonialism-have crash-landed onto our meticulously manicured lawns. Initially celebrated as symbols of progress, these shiny artifacts now function as civilization's Rorschach tests, exposing strategic confusion and institutional amnesia as we outsource national strategy to TikTok algorithms.Part satirical lament, part Rooseveltian call-to-arms, The Gods Must Be Crazy 2.0 dissects an empire that has gamified governance and pawned its industrial soul, where frogs leisurely simmer in debt-flavored snake oil and intellectual property vultures patiently circle overhead.Meanwhile, China silently installs the firmware of global dominance, algorithmically colonizing over a hundred nations via its Belt and Road initiatives. While their emissaries calmly present invoices in Confucian grace, America passionately debates cartoon politics and the semantic nuances of infrastructure.This book revives the Roosevelt Doctrine-not as nostalgic reverie, but as a policy defibrillator-to reclaim capitalist innovation, restore institutional competence, and resist digital authoritarianism before history enshrines us as a cautionary meme.The whistle's about to blow, and the scorekeeper is toggling to Mandarin.Ay Yi Yai Yi! We are in the middle of the New World Order!
Nonperforming Loans Watch in Asia 2025

The report assesses divergent national strategies, and shows how greater digitalization, data transparency, and secondary market liquidity, alongside stronger legal frameworks would result in a more resilient regional NPL ecosystem.

Smart Money
A FINANCIAL TIMES ECONOMICS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'An excellent book' VINCE CABLE 'A must read' JO JOHNSON 'A fascinating read' BILL DUDLEY A timely manifesto on how digital currencies will win the New Cold War and the struggle for geopolitical supremacy in the twenty-first century. A New Cold War is underway. Whereas the first Cold War was dominated by the threat of nuclear conflict, the new front line is economic and financial, but still dominated by technology. Who controls its future will help decide the outcome of the geopolitical struggle between China and the US. Since the end of the Second World War, the US dollar has been the global reserve currency, which has ensured American dominance of the world economy. But no longer. More than a hundred countries are developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), digital equivalents to cash that will utterly transform how we do business at home and abroad. China was the first country to recognise the potential of this new money. The West's media focused on the new currency's role in China's surveillance state, creating widespread concern about all CBDCs. But they have largely overlooked a more important aspect of its existence: as a tool through which to 'de-dollarise' the developing world at the speed of light. When China's President Xi Jinping officially launched the digital yuan in February 2022, he also agreed a pact of 'limitless co-operation' with Russia. Within days, Russia launched its war on Ukraine, secure in the knowledge it could bypass US sanctions. Urgent, clear-eyed and groundbreaking, Smart Money shows us how CBDCs are going to impact all of our futures in ways that most of us have failed to even consider. If the West is to compete, it needs to act fast to develop its own global digital currencies that reflect the values of liberal democracies.
