This book is written in very clear language, and it doesn't insult anybody's intelligence. It builds up all the reasons why gold matters as a currency backing. It also explains why it's so critically important for a citizenry to demand their government not devalue or debase the currency. Governments have used so many tricks to make the people's money worth less. The USA is, unfortunately and sadly, no different in this regard. Taking our money off the gold standard and allowing inflation to be monopolized by the Federal Reserve is egregious. This book shows it up so clearly!
