“Passion is energy,” said Oprah Winfrey. “Feel the power from focusing on what excites you.” This quote not only epitomizes the West, but highlights the privilege that all Americans have experienced since the dollar has been the world reserve currency. I mean, we can afford to focus on our passion,…
As mentioned in the previous post, I read Who Really Owns Your Gold by William Garner. I also read Discourse On Voluntary Servitude: Why People Enslave Themselves to Authority by Étienne de La Boétie from the 16th century, edited by William Garner. I had to let these rest, marinate in…
I read a wild book this weekend…Who Really Owns Your Gold by William Garner (fourth edition). It was published in 2016 and has some intriguing facts about the gold market’s history, and history in general. No doubt, it’s a page-turner and made me think…deeply…about many things.

Don’t get too excited, but I’m writing a book. This is the reason for the long delay between Part 1 and Part 2 of this post. As Ben Franklin put it, either I’m trying to write something worth reading or I’m doing something worth writing—the story of my life. If…
