Peter Schiff's book How The Economy Grows and Why It Crashes is actually a very good book.

I plan to read it to my kids with one big side lesson: money having utility outside of performing it's function as money is a weakness, not a strength, and this misunderstanding is why the Schiff family is going to have fun staying poor in the long run.

The root of their trouble? Treating money like a savior. That never ends well.

Gold guys often think they got it dicked, like they mega brained the entire system. Didn't work out that way.

Schiff gets so many things right. I actually love listening to him talk about everything except bitcoin. Everyone has their blind spots 🤷

It is a solid book, but what’s even better is his father’s original “how and economy grows and why it doesn’t,” upon which Peter’s book is based.

It’s virtually impossible to get a print copy (I bought one years ago and it’s a prized possession) but you can watch the whole book on YouTube

Just picked up Irwin's The Kingdom or Moltz from ebay.

Looks very based and non PC.
