“In Gold We Trust” the book discusses wealth and confidence.

They explain why gold prices are the truest barometer of falling public confidence and of growing inflation. Here are a few key points they bring to light: * Gold is the benchmark for the value of the dollar – not the other way around. * The falling U.S. dollar is largely being ignored by Washington and Wall Street. * Gold’s sharp rise represents an equally sharp decline in investor confidence. * Gold is the barometer of public confidence in paper money. * The dollar’s collapse of 60 percent since 2001 is a blow to capitalism.

Bottom line: The U.S. dollar is slowly but steadily sliding into oblivion, taking with it the hopes and dreams of all Americans, along with the value of their savings accounts and investments.
