The Sovereign Individual

Mastering the Transition to the Information Age

James Dale Davidson

William Rees-Mogg

The book explores the greatest economic and political transition in centuries, predicting the shift from an industrial to an information-based society. Davidson and Rees-Mogg argue that this transition will liberate individuals, alter the power of government, and lead to the rise of digital currency and cyberspace. They foresee a future where individuals will be freed from government oppression and prejudice, and where states will struggle to collect taxes due to the ease of transferring assets electronically. The authors also discuss the potential for prosperity and renewal in the face of radical changes in human history as we move into the new millennium.

The Creation, Corruption and Redemption of Money

Lyle Pratt

Julia Tourianski

Bitcoin and Bible Group

This book delves into the creation, corruption, and potential redemption of money. It examines how the current monetary system is broken and how Bitcoin is redeeming its ills. The authors, from a Christian perspective, discuss how the inherent corruption in the fiat currency system leads to inequality and moral decay, and how Bitcoin's decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature aligns with biblical principles of honesty, integrity, and fairness. The book argues that Bitcoin's design promotes a more equitable financial system and offers hope for a broken world.

The creature from Jekyll Island

G. Edward Griffin

This book delves into the history and operations of the Federal Reserve, exposing what the author believes are its secretive and manipulative practices. Griffin argues that the Federal Reserve, despite its name, is not a government entity but a cartel of bankers who have significant control over the U.S. monetary system. The book details the clandestine meeting on Jekyll Island where the plans for the Federal Reserve were formulated and how this system has led to economic instability, wars, and other societal issues. Written in an accessible style, the book aims to educate readers about the inner workings of the financial system and the potential dangers of fiat currency and central banking.
