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

I've never been quite so disappointed by an audiobook, and it is not the fault of the author. The reading of this text is absolutely awful. a hammy, cinema trailer "COMING SOOOON TO A CINEMAAAA NEEER YOOOUUU" voice is so jarring, I couldn't make it through. Hours upon hours of it. I'd much rather have heard Larry read it through, than this dreadful performance. A five star book, with a one star reading.

A fantastic book, ruined by a hammy reading

This book lays out in simple terms how a small select group of people get to rigg the financial system in their favour.

The book goes into great detail on how the lies and manipulation of the current Fiat monetary system will always favour these people as it was specifically designed to do so.

But luckily for us, for the first time in human history we have a way out, read and find out.

I really enjoyed the book. Having read all of the books Lawrence has taken insight from, it didn’t feel like he was trying to tell me what I already knew. Narration was excellent thank you Walker and the story was great. It has helped me piece together everything I have read to date. I briefly met Lawrence at the Bedford Cheetcode conference e and I can confirm he is a lovely man. Thanks for a great book

Great insights from history and all the great Bitcoin minds

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Lawrence Leonard’s audio book.
He’s been one of my favourite guests to listen to whenever he’s on a podcast so when I heard about his book I couldn’t wait to give it a listen.
The scope and depth of the book surpassed all my expectations. An engaging listening full of knowledge and facts gleamed from a sound money advocate that’s spent decades in the thick of it.
Very much recommended!

Surpassed my expectations.

Old guy, telling it how it is and backed up fully via his experiences within the financial sector

Historical context of Money

At one point in the book the author argues that a reason why Bitcoin ought to be adopted is because people have a history of criticising technology that eventually changes or impacts the world; for example the internet and tv. It’s a weak argument and entirely unconvincing.

Leonard also claims that the United States government spends $ 1trillion on interest on debt per year. I’ve not researched the point to an academic level, but as far as I can say that’s not true. If this is false, what else is false in the book?

Finally, an argument given for not buying a house, or for why buying a house isn’t a solid investment, is because the author’s sister bought a house during housing bubble, was forced to sell it due to a change in career, and lost 45%. That’s unlucky, but could apply to any asset if bought at the “wrong time” and again is unconvincing.

I’d struggle to recommend this book.
