There are no rows in this table
If you believe the U.S. dollar is on borrowed time…
If you’re skeptical of central banking and fiat currency…
And if you know instinctively that gold and silver are not “just another asset class”...
Then the books you read matter.
Whether you’re preparing for financial turbulence or seeking long-term prosperity rooted in honest money, these seven essential books deliver hard-won insights that mainstream economists won’t touch.
Here’s our carefully curated reading list — all available through — to sharpen your understanding of sound money, market manipulation, and the coming monetary reset.
1.
By David Morgan & Chris Marchese
Written by one of the most respected silver analysts alive, The Silver Manifesto goes far beyond the typical “silver is undervalued” arguments. This is a comprehensive blueprint for understanding the silver market—past, present, and future.
Why read it?
Because if you want to understand silver’s true potential in a failing fiat regime, this book gives you the economic, historical, and monetary foundation to invest with conviction.
2.
By FEE, the Foundation for Economic Education
This short but powerful book explores the principles behind sound money and how they impact liberty, prosperity, and economic truth.
Why read it?
It arms you with the philosophical and economic ammunition to defend gold-backed systems—and reject the silent theft of inflationary policy.
3.
By Stuart Englert
There’s “managing the economy,” and then there’s rigging the system. Rigged exposes the collusion between central banks, Wall Street, and government agencies that manipulate the gold and silver markets to uphold fiat supremacy.
Why read it?
Because if you're still wondering why gold doesn’t “perform” like it should in a crisis, this book will make your jaw drop—and your resolve to stack even stronger.
4.
By Peter Krauth
Krauth, a former money manager, makes a compelling case for silver as the premier inflation hedge and profit-generating asset in the coming debt reckoning.
Why read it?
Because inflation is not transitory—and this book helps you position your wealth before the mainstream wakes up.
5.
By David H. Smith
Markets always give second chances… but only to those prepared to act.
Smith lays out a practical strategy for profiting during the next major move in precious metals—while preserving capital in a volatile environment.
Why read it?
Because making money in metals is one thing. Keeping it through chaos is another.
6.
By Murray Rothbard
No list for gold and silver investors is complete without Rothbard.
This classic takedown of fiat currency and central banking lays bare the mechanics of monetary debasement—and why gold is the only antidote.
Why read it?
Because if you want to understand the why behind your gold and silver stack, this is your intellectual cornerstone.
7. BONUS: The Constitution and Honest Money (included in some Money Metals editions)
Some editions of What Has Government Done to Our Money? include an additional essay by Jacob Hornberger: The Constitution and Honest Money.
This adds historical and constitutional depth to Rothbard’s economic argument, grounding it in American principles.
Final Thoughts: Read Like Your Liberty Depends on It
You won’t find any sugar-coating or Wall Street fluff in these pages. What you will find is:
Whether you're new to precious metals or refining a long-held worldview, this reading list arms you with the knowledge to protect what’s yours—before the next crisis hits.
Buy the books. Read them cover to cover. Then act accordingly. The monetary future is coming fast—and it won’t wait for those still trusting the dollar.
