I recently retired after a long career as an investment bankerfor small business during which I helped scores of entrepreneurs raise seed capital to start new businesses. I have watched as unbridled government growth, higher taxes, and bureaucracy have gradually stifled innovation and increasingly distorted capital markets until our country can no longer call itself the land of opportunity. I believe that the artificial expansion of the money supply, manipulation of interest rates, and interference in free markets pose a death threat to American capitalism. I have launched a website at GoldSilverandSurvival.com which provides advice, articles, and information to savers and investors on how to grow and protect their net worth in perilous economic times, and how to prepare for financial survival in the event of economic collapse.
