- This is the book that changed the way I looked at the world

- You're absolutely convinced that the idea is crazy.
- You don't understand what's wrong with inflation or the effect it's having on you.

Ron Paul's easy-reading 57-page monograph addresses the history and current condition of our money and banking system, which he argues is solely responsible for inflation. Dr. Paul, a rising star among presidential candidates, originally entered politics in the 1970s because of his strongly-held convictions about Austrian economics in general and honest money in particular. Among the points he makes are:
