I was thrilled to discover that Detlev Schlichter’s book Paper Money Collapse is not the usual financial tract. It is a very serious work that closely engages Austrian theory and retells its main theoretical and policy points in light of today’s economic mess. It takes a close view of the literature but also has a handle on the big picture of world financial affairs – a big picture that those of us who are involved daily in the endless march of daily events tend to miss. I found his writing very compelling and logical. Overall, it is a high-quality work that draws very heavily on the masters to explain the world trajectory of events. And yes, it is something of a scary book too/
The book is one of those perfect timed things. It is selling like crazy on Amazon. The reviews have been great. He has been all over the media. It is just released and it is gaining steam day by day.
In any case, I’m thrilled that the Mises Academy is hosting an event with the author tonight. It should be extremely interesting, and it is your chance to ask him questions and get his take on the current events. Register for this and stay ahead of the curve.

Money is tight, so I found a pirated copy online. Excited to read it.
How can you tell the copy it is pirated? It’s burn on the edges?
A copy is a copy – calling it pirated is just your way of positioning yourself in the IP bullshit paradigm.
By the way – can you provide a link, so we all benefit?
While many may not support IP here you should keep in mind that the laws exist, and while I have no problems with you violating them you really should carry out that conversation privately because there are potential legal issues that arise with the publisher if that’s posted against their will, even if the author would agree with you on the subject of IP.
Exactly. The internet isn’t the bastion of freedom it used to be. You are easily tracked on the net now and are subject to the rules and regulations of the State. We don’t want big brother knocking down mises.org over something this silly. Also, if you support the author, please just buy a friggin copy.
Speaking of the Internet not being the bastion of freedom it used to be, see NATO wants Internet ID.
dude, just print up some money and buy an honest copy!
