I probably have the best reference collection with respect to monetary history in the world. I do not makeup stuff, and I do not rely on modern history books. I prefer to also collect the reference materials of the era. I have bought newspapers bound in annual volumes from libraries over the years before digital. I have an extensive collection of both US and British materials. You will often see in my writings I publish articles from that period to show what they really said back then, not someone else ignoring or altering it to fit their agenda.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Galbraith-Great-Crash-PNG.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-130470 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Galbraith-Great-Crash-PNG-1024x549.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Galbraith-Great-Crash-PNG-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Galbraith-Great-Crash-PNG-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Galbraith-Great-Crash-PNG-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Galbraith-Great-Crash-PNG-600x322.png 600w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Galbraith-Great-Crash-PNG.png 1071w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"549\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1931_GB-Abandons-Gold-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43721 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1931_GB-Abandons-Gold-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1931_GB-Abandons-Gold-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1931_GB-Abandons-Gold-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1931_GB-Abandons-Gold-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1931_GB-Abandons-Gold-1-180x135.jpg 180w\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-52239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote-1024x548.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote-1024x548.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote-180x96.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote-600x321.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Hoover-Quote.jpg 1235w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"548\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have stated many times that I had to read Galbraith\u2019s \u201cGreat Crash\u201d in school. He was really a Socialist and never\u00a0<b>mentioned\u00a0<\/b>anything about a Sovereign Debt Crisis. Only when I found a rare copy of Herbert Hoover\u2019s \u201cMemoirs\u201d in a London book store did I see all the evidence he put forth. My subsequent search of contemporary newspapers confirmed that the history books were all written by Socialists who supported Stalin back then.\u00a0<strong>WHEN YOU DO THE RESEARCH TO DISCOVER WHAT HAPPENED,<\/strong>\u00a0instead of trying to support a theory, you actually discover some very interesting facts. Hoover\u2019s words applied to the 2007-2009 Financial Crisis and the collapse of Greece in 2010. Capital acted the very same way.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-55503 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD-1024x1003.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD-1024x1003.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD-768x752.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD-180x176.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD-600x588.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Japanese-Debasement-760-958AD.jpg 1157w\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"733\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Most Lethal Act that Kills Governments QUESTION:\u00a0Mr. Armstrong.
