Short Synopsis
If we are to restore American prosperity, if the Republican Party the party of free markets is going to make a winning argument, we need to understand how money really works. The Scandal of Money is the most profound and practical analysis of politics and economics since Gilder's own classic Wealth and Poverty.

Full Synopsis
Why do conservatives have such a hard time winning the economic debate in the court of public opinion? Simple, George Gilder says: Conservatives misunderstand economics almost as badly as liberals do. Republicans have been running on tax cut proposals since the era of Harding and Coolidge without seriously addressing the key problems of a global economy in decline. Enough is enough. Gilder, author of the New York Times bestseller Wealth and Poverty, proposes a completely new framework for understanding economic growth that will replace failed twentieth-century conservative economics and turn the economic debate—and the country—around.

"George Gilder shows that money is time,=, and time is real. He is our best guide to our most fundamental economic problem." ---Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal

"If you believe in economic freedom, you should read this book." ---Senator Jim DeMint, president of The Heritage Foundation
