The Theft of Nations
Returning to Gold
Subtitled Returning to Gold, an argument that fiat currency and fractional-reserve banking quietly transfer wealth from the many to the few.
Subtitled ‘Returning to Gold’, this book extends Meera’s critique of the modern monetary system, arguing that fiat currency and fractional-reserve banking quietly transfer wealth from ordinary people to those who create money. He contends that seigniorage and inflation amount to a hidden ‘theft’ from nations, and proposes gold and asset-backed money as a remedy. Grounded in Islamic economics, it is a pointed argument about money, power, and fairness in the global financial order.
