Resumen del Editor
This new book by New York Times best-selling author George Gilder tackles key questions about how monetarism distorts the economy and leads to misallocation of investment. Gilder covers a variety of topics, including Milton Friedman's greatest "error", money supply and velocity, the perils of high-volume trading, Bitcoin and how it mimics gold, and why a gold standard is superior to targeting based on a basket of commodities.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

Years ago, after suffering a humiliatingly large dumb tax, it dawned on me that I have a seemingly unlimited ability to hit unforced errors and sabotage my business and financial success. I suspect you do, too. It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. I don't need to do more smart things. I just need to make fewer dumb mistakes. The vast majority of our dumb tax is a direct result of emotional, overly optimistic, and poorly thought out decisions.

America's elite have been using cash value life insurance to stockpile wealth for centuries. Used correctly, it is better described as a personal bank on steroids, and a financial bunker for tough times. To be clear, this audiobook is not about the typical garbage peddled by most insurance agents. Rather, an alternative to the risky investment strategies taught by Wall Street. It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth.

Why do conservatives have such a hard time winning the economic debate in the court of public opinion? Simple, George Gilder says: Conservatives misunderstand economics almost as badly as liberals do. Republicans have been running on tax cut proposals since the era of Harding and Coolidge without seriously addressing the key problems of a global economy in decline. Enough is enough.

For over two-hundred years, capitalist systems have overtaken the global economy, spreading near-universal growth and opening the floodgates for limitless human potential. Yet something is going terribly wrong in the world economy. National bestselling author George Gilder explains how economics is not an incentive system but an information system. Redefining capitalism for the modern age, he reveals how free enterprise is a mind driven system, material resources are essentially as infinite as atoms, and what governs economic growth is human creativity.

America’s struggling economy needs a better philosophy than the college student’s lament,“I can’t be out of money, I still have checks in my checkbook!” We've tried a government spending spree, and we've learned it doesn't work. Now is the time to rededicate our country to the pursuit of free-market capitalism, before we’re buried under a mound of debt and unfunded entitlements. But how do we navigate between government spending that’s too big to sustain and financial institutions that are "too big to fail?"

rambled for 2 hours but didn't make a great case
I was hoping that because the book lasts 2 hours, it would be direct to the point. But no. It just rambled for 2 hours but didn't make a great case for gold.
So he starts by saying that economists don't agree with gold standard and that they have a flawed understanding of money.
The author's argument is that monetary policy has not prevented recessions since 1930. It also went against Friendman's theory that drove Quantitative Easing, which he retracted during his later days. I am not fond monetarism either as seen with the current inflation thanks to QE.
Knowledge is wealth and growth is learning.
So, manipulating the value of money (QE, suppressing Interest Rates,etc) does not create wealth but more like manipulating data of a research. Also said that it turns Wall street into "subsidiaries." From what I see, I couldn't agree more.
I am not fond with QE and wall Street getting the most buck of almost free money given now. The fight for economic inequality using gold is there. Still, I wanna hear more facts and less defensive stance against monetarists.

Interesting perspective
George Gilder changes his estimate of bitcoin in his latest book "Life After Google" (2018). He now sees flaws in bitcoin's design based on the mismatch of savers and long-term investors. A successful currency/money needs to take investment needs into account.
I'm thinking if the key is time... that a distributed clock is the key. A uniform percentage is released and doesn't stop at a fixed amount. Then there needs to be a function that allows the currency to be used in funding an investment and in loans. The ability for debt forgiveness/destruction needs to be built in too as a part of investment risk.
Investment returns are the other side of the investment equation.
Bitcoin is ok as a payment system but it isn't set to to function as a global currency. The distribution system was never a great design. My thought is there should be a fixed exchange rate for each fiat currency and then the fiat currency should be destroyed as it's "quantum teleported" into the system thus swapping/replacing fiat for non-state sponsored. without the corresponding destruction of the fiat the combined money supply expands.

Confused
I am looking forward to a rebuttal to mainstream monetarist economics. I tried to stay open-minded, because I'm well aware that quantity theory of money has its flaws. I really wanna hear the author out because there must be some great uncommon insights for someone to advocate gold standard in the 21st century.
While it opens with a true (albeit cliched) criticism of the contemporary capitalistic system dominated by financial institutions, the main arguments are presented sloppily and not quite convincing.
First the author asserts wealth = knowledge and growth = learning. Then, money should be a medium for information transmission so to minimize noises it should have entropies as low as possible. What's more stable than the constant flow of time? Hence gold should be money because it's stable through time hence it represents time.
Okay the flow of logic is there, but it takes a lot for a reader to accept any of the above statements. I can see his argument but it's just not convincing. Were there no financial crisis back when countries were still using gold standard? Were entrepreneurs more innovative when money was pegged to gold? Would inflation targeting solve the entropy problem? How does Bitcoin come into play? Shouldn't Bitcoin not gold be money? I seriously don't know! Those are not rhetorical but genuine questions to be answered if a reader like me to accept a unorthodox theory.
To me, this book is overly meandering in the theoretical framework which is based on information theory, remotely at best. The concepts, like outlined above, are outlandish to most. I would expect real life examples, data, experiments, or at least historical events to support his theory. Otherwise, a theory as out there like this, I'm not buying it, and I doubt most will.

Brilliant and Succinct
4.5 of 5 stars.
Enjoyable and thought provoking, George Gilder’s brief read on monetary theory applies the “Theory of Information” he explored in “Power and Knowledge” (2013) and integrates it into what he defines as a new paradigm for money.
He explores the brilliance and errors of monetary greats Friedman and Hayak and explains where these theories hit their limitations. In the case of Friedman, he delves into the practical realities of money velocity and why it returns power and freedom back to the market from the manipulations of central bankers (creation of money).
Gilder argues convincingly that the disruption and entropy of new information and unpredictable discoveries are what drive the value of money while indicting the arrogance of central planners and governments’ monetary manipulations who are fighting a losing battle against the time and information value of money.
Ultimately, Gilder views the constancy of gold, its creation and predictable rate of growth, as a store of value which will reassert itself in coming years.
If interested in learning more, I highly recommend the writings of Jim Richards, particularly “The New Case for Gold” (2016).
The performance fits the material.

Succinct and Insightful
I liked the straightforward line of reasoning in this book. I believe much more must be written to show the importance of sound money and gold/BTC standard!
After listening to this book, I bought two other titles from the same author. He’s really great.

misleading title and sample.
There is neither information theory nor a case for gold, or any other monetary basis, in this work. Sounds like a highschool student wrote down a bunch of things they read on their guided social media platform. The work lacks the effort that embodies value (so I guess maybe that's the point of the book?) It could be that this book is intended to be one of those recursive appreciation things where the statement is the observers realization that they are thinking about the observation. All the same, it isn't good and should be placed in fiction.

Disappointing
I was hoping for an interesting critique on the value of adopting the gold standard. I was disappointed.
The narrative is relatively unstructured, links a wide range of insights from different domains to reinforce the argument, but without providing evidence of the relationship. Contains baseless or in some cases factually incorrect assertions.
An interesting philosophical point of view, but unfortunately not a evidence based attempt to justify adoption of the gold standard.

Meandering Arguments for heterodox economic ideas
As a mainstream economist, I sometimes scour the heterodox economics literature for insights. By heterodox, I include a wide range of esoteric economic thought on the edges of the ideological spectrum: Austrian economics, ecological economics, modern monetary theory, and gold-buggery. My expectation of finding undiscovered nuggets of wisdom is low, not because these authors’ out-of-the-echo-chamber thinking doesn’t often have value, but because mainstream economists are rewarded for incorporating the valuable insights from heterodox economics into their models. So when reading a book like this, I see myself as panning for gold in a river already picked dry.
While I don’t know if this book has any useful insights, I didn’t get anything out of it because of its bizarre writing style. I appreciate a well thought out analogy to illustrate an economic idea. But this book is chock full of analogies to scientific phenomena that felt random to me - as if the author was hiding sloppy thought behind sophisticated sounding terminology from the hard sciences. I was familiar with some of the science, and in those cases the analogies didn’t provide any clarification. Where I wasn’t familiar with the science, the book sounded like gobbledygook. Let me be clear, the book contains no hard science: just economics ideas explained by analogy to hard science. So while it's possible the author has brilliant insights that I missed because I don’t know the science behind his analogies, I’m doubtful. In any case, much of the book will be incomprehensible to any reader who lacks a broad and deep understanding of a dozen random scientific fields.
The author sets up the book as an attempt to prove wrong Milton Friedman’s Nobel Prize winning insights. When trying to contradict one of the most brilliant economists in history in just over 2 hours, I would expect the author to stay focused. But instead the author gets distracted by a number of interesting rabbit holes. For example, he discusses a proposed crypto currency that would maintain wallet purchasing power by making units of currency disappear and reappear in people’s crypto “wallets” according to an index of commodity prices. While an interesting thought experiment, gold obviously doesn’t behave this way, and I don't understand how this relates to his case for a gold standard. He also went on a tangent about how laws against insider trading reduce the amount of information in the stock market. I would be interested in evidence that this has negative implications for the real world, but I saw no connection to the gold standard, and like much of the book, the author relies on rhetorical argument, not evidence.
So after reading the book, I am left with the same questions about “the 21st century case for gold” that I had before I started reading. Mainstream economics blames the gold standard for the extreme boom bust cycles of the 19th century, and deflation that led to the free silver movement of William Jennings Bryant (and analogized in the book “The Wizard of Oz”). Would a new gold standard lead to the same problems? The case for fiat currency is simple: the Fed now has a long track record of avoiding deflation while keeping inflation around 2%. Economic growth rates have been respectable, and while the 2008 recession was perhaps mismanaged, it’s not clear how a gold standard would have addressed the issues that caused the recession, or improved the recovery. The bottom line is that the Fed has achieved better price stability than past gold standards. Any case for gold has to address this reality.
