The GoldMoney Foundation is pleased to announce the release of the first Spanish translation of the late Ferdinand Lips's book Gold Wars – a detailed and thought-provoking argument in favour of the gold standard. First published back in 2002 on the cusp of gold's latest bull market, Lips makes a thorough case for gold's use as money, and shows how and why governments and central banks turned against gold over the course of the 20th century. Lips is particularly scathing about how the financial elite in his own country, Switzerland, turned against their own sound money tradition – calling this "the betrayal of Switzerland". A special launch event for this book was held on 21 June 2012 in Madrid.

James Turk has written that Pieces of Eight “will without any doubt stand throughout time as the definitive account of the descent in the United States from the sound money imparted by the Constitution to the unsound debt-contract that is the inferior, unconstitutional unit of account that today passes as the 'dollar'.”
