Download As PDF : Economics of a Pure Gold Standard eBook Mark A Skousen 
The case for returning to a gold standard has usually been made on a political, not economic basis. In Economics of a Pure Gold Standard, economist Mark Skousen introduces the key concepts and research showing the case for gold from an economic standpoint while offering realistic scenarios for how gold could once again become the basis of a monetary system.
Economics of a Pure Gold Standard demonstrates how 100 percent gold reserve banking might work, by showing how it actually did work in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Venice. From there, it provides some unfamiliar details to the familiar story of how practices once considered criminal came to be venerable standards.

Economics of a Pure Gold Standard eBook Mark A Skousen Reviews
A technical analysis (written by a Phd in Economics) of a pure gold standard. Well written and very convincing.
I thought the book was very well put together, interesting and extremely informative as well as insightful. This is a subject which needs to be on everyone's radar because within the next few short years we WILL be seeing a paradigm shift in the global financial sector a return to the gold standard. The more knowledge and research that is done into how this will be actually realized the better. 'The Economics of a Pure Gold Standard' is a must for people trying to make sense of the very deep and structural problems our economy and society are facing and will be forced to deal with sooner rather than later.
I do not know Professor Skousen, nor do I harbor any personal animus whatsoever against the gentleman. But his book is a classic case of *petitio pricipii* -- begging the question.
The author comprehensively compares four proposals for *Fool's Gold Standards* -- all of which leave the FED cartel in place, illegally superintending American money and banking. Any book on an honest gold standard must inform readers of the LAW regarding American money. Article 1, Sections 8 and 10 of the U.S. Constitution stipulate that *only gold and silver coin* are lawful U.S. money. This is 5th grade civics.
To leave in place the counterfeiting concession granted by Congress to a crime cartel using the fraudulent brand 'Federal Reserve', is to render any "gold standard" futile -- and of course still illegal.
There is an aphorism holding that one can put ten economics PhDs in a room and give them a problem, and one will receive 20 mutually exclusive responses. Yet, a few economists got it right. For discussion of an honest gold standard, read Rothbard's The Case Against the Fed or his book The Mystery Of Banking].
For a more comprehensive analysis of the history, ethics, and mechanics of a true gold standard in international context, see Jesus Huerta de Soto's [[ASIN1610161890 Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles. In Chapter 9, Professor de Soto walks the reader through the steps required to restore any national money to a sound gold standard. Professor Huerta de Soto stands in the venerable tradition of the Salamanca School, precursor to the Austrian School of classical economics. Both schools offer two delightfully counter-cultural concepts for American economics plain speaking, and honest dealing.
Any gold standard must include a 100% reserve requirement against bank loans, but here in America, the law requires that Congress be directly responsible for *coining* our money and regulating its value, and it does not provide for abdication of that duty by Congress.
This is 8th or 9th grade civics; no economics PhD required for these basic concepts in honesty and civics. Google the term "Exposing the Fool's Gold Standard" for a monograph offering more resources on this subject in American context.

*Paper 'U.S. Dollar' notes or even debit cards backed by *100% reserve* deposits of gold/silver would presumably comply.
