Lewis E. Lehrman, Ralph Benko and their colleagues have spent decades researching monetary policy, including the classical gold standard. A number of the most important works by Lewis Lehrman are republished here for policy makers, scholars and all who are interesting in sound monetary policy.
In addition, the gold standard is very much back in the news! Ambassador Robert Zoellick, president of The World Bank, called for a reassessment of the gold standard. Rep. Ron Paul, a staunch champion of the gold standard, has been elevated to the chairmanship of the House Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy. Hardly a day goes by without interesting and encouraging developments on the policy front.
TheGoldStandardNow.org will keep track of the new developments, call them to your attention, and let you know how to make sense out of it all. Then it will help you get your own voice heard as the gold standard becomes a bigger and bigger issue in the daily news.

This site is unrelated to buying, holding, or selling gold as an investment. In fact, when the classical gold standard is re-implemented the value of gold will be stable. Which means that while it will be a great store of value it won’t go up (or down!) in value.
Once the dollar becomes convertible to gold, the foundation will be in place for vibrant economic growth. The gold standard is the basis for a great wave of prosperity to improve the material well-being of Americans and citizens of all other nations that adopt it -- under a regime of low tax rates, balanced budgets, free trade, sensible regulations, and democratic values.
