We Hold These Truths: The Hope of Monetary Reform
We Hold These Truths: The Hope of Monetary Reform is a book (2009) by former U.S. federal government analyst and author Richard C. Cook, proposing a comprehensive series of measures to transform the dominance of a debt-based monetary system into one aligned more closely with the physical economy's productive values. The basis for Cook's resolution is grounded in the work of C. H. Douglas and the reformer's advancement of Social Credit as a dimension of "economic democracy".
Background
We Hold These Truths is an edited compilation of sixteen articles written throughout a sequence of events during 2007 which included the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries and former Comptroller General David M. Walker's, Fiscal Wake-Up Tour. Sounding an early warning of the economic devastation that would occur from what's come to be known as the 'late-2000s financial crisis', Chapter Eight is aptly titled, "It's Official: The crash of the U.S. Economy has Begun".
