Great article. Lionel Shriver wrote a fabulous book called The Mandibles that is well worth reading. It describes a dystopian future that occurs in the U.S. after the dollar loses its status as the world's reserve currency, and how that impacts a (formerly) wealthy family. I highly recommend it. I got the recommendation to read the book from Jim Rickards, who said he was going to write Ms. Shriver a letter, I guess to discuss some sort of collaboration between them.

What currency do they start using in the book, Gold, barter? I will add it to my reading list thanks
The gold gets seized by the government early in the story. I don't want to reveal too much, but I think you will love the ending. I couldn't put the book down when I started reading it.
What the hell: I'll give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.
If you have a Libertarian bent, I think you'll really enjoy it. If you're a Progressive Democrat, the book will quickly piss you off if not enrage you.
Heh: a lot like #cryptocurrency itself.
I would say so!
Just read the review on The Mandibles. Looks hilarious in a dark kind of way.
Definitely going to add this to my list of books to read, thanks!
I appreciate your comments
