"The True Gold Standard. Buy it... it is a compelling read and a compelling architecture for a way forward."
— Lou Dobbs, Lou Dobbs Tonight - Fox Business News

After almost a century of manipulated paper- and credit-based currencies, how do nations--which need the benefits of free trade in order to prosper--terminate the anarchy of volatile, depreciating, floating exchange rates? How do the same nations stage the resumption of a true gold standard, without the escalating debt and leverage of official reserve currencies?

The True Gold Standard by Lewis E. Lehrman endeavors to answer these questions and more.

Students of Abraham Lincoln know the canon of his major speeches — from his Lyceum Speech of 1838 to his “Final Remarks” delivered from a White House window, days before he was murdered in 1865. Less well-known are the two speeches given at Springfield and Peoria two weeks apart in 1854. They marked Mr. Lincoln’s reentry into the politics of Illinois and, as he could not know, his preparation for the Presidency in 1861. These Lincoln addresses catapulted him into the debates over slavery which dominated Illinois and national politics for the rest of the decade. Lincoln delivered the substance of these arguments several times — certainly in Springfield on October 4, 1854, for which there are only press reports. A longer version came twelve days later in Peoria. To understand President Abraham Lincoln, one must understand the Peoria speech of October 16, 1854. It forms the foundation of his politics and principles, in the 1850s and in his Presidency.
