Alexander Del Mar

Written during the US War of Aggression and Occupation of the Southern States, the author predicted the harm of paper money, not backed by substance. His predictions have come true in the 1890s, 1900s, 1930s, and as late as 2008 when the paper money banksters almost crashed the financial system. Why O Why do the Illiterates of Congress allow this cycle to continue, and each time it bails out the same criminals that caused the bubble to almost burst. In the past 10 years the bubble has inflated 100 times its normal rate.... will we all have to suffer because of illiterate, greedy, politicians since the banksters want it all?

There is possibly no greater master of the history and frauds used in money systems from antiquity to the present day than Alexander Del Mar. TGS continues to seek out all books of this rare author and talent from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Del Mar was the head of the Bureau of Mining for the United States in the 1800s. His specialty was researching the history of money, coins, and fiat systems.

This excellent book has been out of print now for quite some time. It is with pride that TGS Publishing is able to scan the original book and make it available to the public once again.

Alexander Del Mar was against fiat (fake) money and he spent a lifetime researching money, its value, its failings, and its benefits. This is an in depth historical study into precious metals as money.
