Description:

They say John Maynard Keynes called gold a ''barbarous relic''.
They say there isn''t enough gold to support finance and commerce.
They say the gold supply can''t increase fast enough to support world growth.

They''re wrong.

In The New Case for Gold, James Rickards explains why gold is one of the safest assets for investors in times of political instability and market volatility, and how every investor should look to add gold to his or her portfolio.

Drawing on historical case studies, monetary theory and his personal experience as an investor, Rickards argues that gold should be a part of any prudent investor''s portfolio.
