What's fascinating yet disturbing to me is the point that Murray brings up that many of the critics of the Western system of traditional power are made up of many in the West themselves! Talk about wanting to shoot the horse you ride on! And yet all of you will whine once the system crashes. You will blame the conservatives for a crash that you helped cause.

Wow. That's quite a series of accusations. His books do well in the reviews.
Also ask yourself if you would have dug up the same information against a liberal author...(gay or not! )Add:
And would you be as critical of an author whom you agreed with?

Admittedly this review provides a good counterpoint to Murray's claims.

I suppose it depends on which chart you look at. Yahoo Finance reports that over the last 6 months, gold has increased by roughly $200.00 an ounce.

Noted. You do have an argument, but the consensus is that we are entering a recession and that the past 30 years of compounded gains will take quite a hit. At this point in time, I would invest at least 10% into hard assets. They are not to be thought of as an investment but as an insurance policy.
