As Good As Gold: The Return of Real Money — Now Available
A new book from Vincent B. Lanci on collateral, gold, and the architecture that actually settles the world's money.
The book is out.
“The international monetary system is not built on currencies. It is built on collateral.” That single premise drives As Good As Gold: The Return of Real Money — a tight, readable account of how the world’s money is actually settled, why gold quietly underwrites it, and what happens as the system that replaced gold begins to strain.
Vincent B. Lanci traces how gold once functioned as the world’s settlement asset, why Treasury securities displaced it, and how the modern plumbing — repo markets, rehypothecation — keeps collateral in constant motion. From there he turns to the pressures now bearing down on that structure, from safe-asset scarcity to geopolitical fracture, and sketches the shape of a system in which Treasuries, gold, and commodity-backed assets coexist. Real money, in other words, may be on its way back.
