    About this ebook

    We are living in uncertain times. The subprime crisis a decade ago provoked major financial and monetary tremors that reverberated throughout the world, the impacts of which are still felt today. Some economists are warning us that a new crisis is brewing that could surpass the 2008 crisis. Astronomical debts in developed countries together with abysmal public deficits threaten once again the stability of our international financial system, endangering our hard-earned savings.

    The Gold & Silver Saga explores the historical foundation of our monetary and banking system, revealing its Achilles heel. It also explores possible solutions for the future. Written in a lively and entertaining style, it makes a complex subject easy to understand for everyone. In the book, the author examines:

    > What is money?
    > Why do we trust gold and silver?
    > How does inflation steal your money?
    > How do banks create money?
    > What role for crypto and digital money?
