How Nixon’s break from the gold standard set America on the path to economic ruin.

“Paul Stone’s passion for the common American is as powerful as his disdain for massive, centralized government. The story told in this book has never been shared before, offering incredible distinctions between modern economic policy and fundamental realities. While Paul’s perspectives will challenge supporters of money printing, everyday Americans will gain a new understanding of the root causes of the struggles they face.” — Larry Kudlow, Host of Kudlow on Fox Business Network

“1971 offers a gripping critique of one of the most pivotal moments in modern economic history. Nixon's decision to remove the U.S. from the gold standard set the stage for decades of financial and social instability. It is one of the most important events that hardly anyone knows anything about. And Paul offers a roadmap to help save this country and world. A must-read.” — Greg Kelly, Host of Greg Kelly Reports on Newsmax
