«Three Days at Camp David» by Jeffrey E. Garten

What is the book about:

This book contains a well-researched and well-told story about the end of the gold standard, or rather, about the thinking and the men behind the Nixon administration's decision to remove the U.S. – and thus the world – off the gold standard.

Why I recommend this book:

It is amazing to see the arguments and thinking of that time and compare them to some of the political voices of today. The book reminds us that in a world of high debt, fiat money, and fierce global competition, almost nothing is unthinkable.
