The Big Reset

The Big Reset by Willem Middelkoop discusses the impending need for a new anchor in the world's financial system, particularly as the US dollar's role as the global reserve currency diminishes.

The book explores the history of money, central banking, the international dollar system, and the impact of high public debts and financial crises.

Middelkoop predicts a significant role for gold in the new monetary system and suggests that China and Russia are positioning themselves by accumulating large gold reserves.

The book also warns about the risks of fiat money and advocates for a return to a gold-based system, possibly in cooperation with major powers and the IMF to create an international currency like the SDR.
