In post 67 I said I'd have to chew on a few $$ books to get a better grasp on the oil-to-dollar relationship. Here's what's in my dog house at the moment:
"The Money Men" by H.W. Brands, c2006 -- very easy ready beginning with Alexander Hamilton and the creation of the central bank system right up to WWI. How, why, political battles, consequences.
"The Coming Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit From It" by Turk and Rubino -- Why the continuous, unsupported printing of money and creation of debt ALWAYS leads to the collapse of the fiat currency. Starts with history beginning around WWI and continue with key statistics and useful info through its copyright in 2004. Very accurate title in 2009! Read about the gold standard and investing in gold and other hard assets today.
"Lords of Finance" by Liaquat Ahamed - Portraits of the key four men during the Depression years that influenced the economy and how.
Please be patient for highlights. I'm a slow eater and like a variety of snacks at a time.
