Going for the Gold: Book 1 of the Sullivan Series

Kerri Sullivan has only one more chance to make it to the U.S. Women's Figure Skating Olympic Team. The year before, her competitive season was cut short with a knee injury that potentially ended her career, and now there aren’t any coaches who are willing to work with her, except one. Jake Takeda wants to coach her. Kerri remembers him very well. He is the same man who always made her painfully aware of the fact that she was a woman, as well as, a skater. But she wants the gold medal, and she will handle anything that gets in her way in order to get it. With the Olympics in mind, she makes the decision to go to the Japanese city of Matsumoto and work with Jake.

Jake Takeda, three-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time world champion men's figure skating champion, is now retired from competitive skating and is working as a figure skating coach in his home city of Matsumoto, Japan. He remembers Kerri very well from their years together in the senior world figure skating circuit and accepts the position as her head coach to get her back to the Olympics. He knows that Kerri winning the gold medal will boost his new standing as an elite coach. But how will he separate his job as Kerri’s coach from his desire for her as a woman? A year in Japan will let them both know if it is worth it to go for the gold.

Gold: The Once and Future Money (Agora Series)

For most of the last three millennia, the world’s commercial centers have used one or another variant of a gold standard. It should be one of the best understood of human institutions, but it’s not. It’s one of the worst understood, by both its advocates and detractors. Though it has been spurned by governments many times, this has never been due to a fault of gold to serve its duty, but because governments had other plans for their currencies beyond maintaining their stability. And so, says Nathan Lewis, there is no reason to believe that the great monetary successes of the past four centuries, and indeed the past four millennia, could not be recreated in the next four centuries. In Gold, he makes a forceful, well-documented case for a worldwide return to the gold standard.

Governments and central bankers around the world today unanimously agree on the desirability of stable money, ever more so after some monetary disaster has reduced yet another economy to smoking ruins. Lewis shows how gold provides the stability needed to foster greater prosperity and productivity throughout the world. He offers an insightful look at money in all its forms, from the seventh century B.C. to the present day, explaining in straightforward layman’s terms the effects of inflation, deflation, and floating currencies along with their effect on prices, wages, taxes, and debt. He explains how the circulation of money is regulated by central banks and, in the process, demystifies the concepts of supply, demand, and the value of currency. And he illustrates how higher taxes diminish productivity, trade, and the stability of money. Lewis also provides an entertaining history of U.S. money and offers a sobering look at recent currency crises around the world, including the Asian monetary crisis of the late 1990s and the devastating currency devaluations in Russia, China, Mexico, and Yugoslavia.

Lewis’s ultimate conclusion is simple but powerful: gold has been adopted as money because it works. The gold standard produced decades and even centuries of stable money and economic abundance. If history is a guide, it will be done again.

Nathan Lewis was formerly the chief international economist of a firm that provided investment research for institutions. He now works for an asset management company based in New York. Lewis has written for the Financial Times, Asian Wall Street Journal, Japan Times, Pravda, and other publications. He has appeared on financial television in the United States, Japan, and the Middle East.
