About this listen

Most Americans — and people worldwide — understand that despite our remarkable technological advances, something is deeply wrong with the direction of our country and world. There are a variety of causes but Mr. Lepard believes, and wrote this book because, too many are missing the one, principal underlying cause: The Money Is Broken.

Through his own personal story, and tracing the history of how we find ourselves in this condition, he explains in layman’s terms what happened, why it is wrong, and how we can fix it.

This book addresses the pressing issues of inflation and wealth inequality and points out that we do not need to suffer with these ills. It is a call to action for people of all ages and political persuasions. Sound money and personal freedoms are what built the America, that post-World War II, was widely admired and stood at the pinnacle of the world. Sadly, we have drifted away from the principles that took us there.

The book also discusses today’s investment climate, the threats that savers face, and the likely path of markets over the next decade. There is a warning here. There will be winners and losers. The monetary transition engulfing us will create enormous changes, but we have many reasons for optimism. New technological developments and trends are taking us to a much better world.

Understanding our monetary system is the key to solving today's global challenges. This book reveals why our future depends on one critical mission:

FIX THE MONEY to

FIX THE WORLD

Good intro

The overall story is important and well written, it’s a good alternative to Broken Money and The Bitcoin Standard. This story needs repeating.
For a book aimed at beginners, it still contained too many technical parts (boring numbers and details about US politician behavior).
The audio wasn’t perfect, the narrator struggled at the beginning and overplayed the quotations (as if mocking them), and many repetitions were left unedited.

Well written, awful narration

The narrator sounded like an AI bot. Either the microphone he recorded on was terrible quality or it was a bot. Either way it’s unacceptable for Amazon to sell audiobooks and the quality of the audio to be this poor.

Gripping true tale of the theft from us all

Well read by a voice for radio! The tale is 1) true and 2) you have been programmed to accept it as no big deal. But the reality is you’re a part slave your entire life to the predator class that continually steals through inflation…and you might even be proud that you have the intellect to see why such theft is necessary or good for the economy. Heaven help you. For the rest of us, bitcoin is your way to get out of the rat race…not that the life raft provides a comfy ride, but it beats swimming and sinking!

Good book. Narrator is Terrible

Enjoyed the book, as it is a little easier to consume for people over Broken Money or The Bitcoin Standard. It's a book I plan on buying family members to get them started on their Bitcoin journey.

Walker America's narration was god awful. He does a Bitcoin podcast as well, and his intros always have this same fake horrible voice. I had to 1.5x the audio just to make it sound like it was talking somewhat like a normal person. Then I was surprised by how he was quoting people with this comedic voices. Makes the book sound like a joke.

Do yourself a favor and buy it in paperback unless you hate reading. Just speed up the narration to make it bearable.

Fantastic listen! Highly recommend

This is something everyone should know about. The writer is extremely knowledgeable and can explain it to you in words anyone can understand. This book explains what's going on with our financial system and what's about to happen. Knowledge is power and this might be one of the most powerful books of all time.

Highly recommend

Very understandable story and excellent historical summary. The author presents fairly his investment case for Bitcoin. This book is highly readable and a great introduction to understanding Bitcoin.

Sound money

Fantastic, easy to grasp principles of how money is broken, the effects of it's dysfunction on everything else and hoe sound money in general and ₿itcoin in particular fixes this.
