Jim Rickards pessimistic about global elites and their ability to constantly create crashes for opportunity

  Clifford Gifford
 James Rickards is one of the best financial writers out there and he knows pretty much how the system runs and is set up. Jim Rickards takes potshot at the governments inability to prosecute bankers such as those that helped produce the worst downturn this nation has ever seen and his book called 'The Road To Ruin" is a historical account of how elites use economic change and disaster towards their advantages and excuse to create ruin and then buy up things on the cheap.

The role and importance of holding gold is outlined throughout this book and in Jim Rickards career. James has warned about the drive of the elites for one world,one money and a simple order of hierarchical control based on wealth and asset ownership that can be used for leverage upon others. Rickards pans out a history of altercations and techniques and basically how the flow of wealth to low-tax nations and low labor costs has been initiated as a tactic to enriched a small powerful class and taking away the labor united union power of the Western workers. Jim Rickards will tell all the big shots and those who will listen to him the importance of holding gold and physical asset as wealth and he makes this point throughout his book. Jim gives a good version and look past at all the political shocks and monetary policies that put strains on the economy and used to the benefit of the global elites making financial gains through the miseries of others through economic crisis. Rickards knows Americas decline went parallel with the dollar being taken off the gold standard and the monopoly money printing of the fed and distribution of these bucks to s small banking elite has had disastrous affects upon the power and prestige of the United States.
