Honest Money: Biblical Principles of Money and Banking Paperback – August 1, 1986

We are now facing a monetary crisis of astronomical proportions. Government debt is skyrocketing. Currencies are collapsing. Banks are going broke. Businesses are folding. Families are struggling. We've been stranded, sitting on top of a mountain of IOU' that will never be paid off. Most professional economists don't know what to do. Neither do most professional theologians. They don't have answers. But the Bible does. In this book, Dr. Gary North outlines specifically what those answers are. He demonstrates beyond any shadow of a doubt that there is hope. If we act quickly, wisely and scripturally, we can save our nation-indeed, Western Civilization-from the most disastrous economic catastrophe in history. The Bible tells us what to do, when, where, how, and why. It offers a "blueprint" for financial victory. Honest Money lays out that "blueprint" simply, practically, and understandably. It shows us how we can "move mountains."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about real money
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2019

This is a great book for anyone who wants to understand the origins of money and how it's been corrupted over the millennia. Now keep in mind this book was written in the 1980's so the numbers used are totally obsolete and so are some of the references used however the information is spot on.

Now this is a Christian finance book so it uses lot of biblical references. For some people this may be a turn off but by sticking to the Bible as the "authority" we are given some great historical references of the use of money from Genesis to the New Testament. One great insight is that coins and government issued currency was not even a part for much of the Old Testament. Instead of items like gold and silver had value based on weight. There was no central issuer of gold and . silver. However in the later Old Testament times and New Testament times we see how central governments were issuing currency. There is a lot of theological, spiritual, and moral consequences because of this.

The last part of the book may be the toughest for some people to read because the author has his own ideas on how to return America to honest money. I won't spoil it here suffice to say, to have honest money you need both lenders of credit and the customers to be honest. You don't get something for nothing.

This book explains clearly what the Bible says about money and banking, and details how far our current monetary and banking systems have drifted from the Bible's precepts and principles in this area.

Even though this book was originally published in 1986 it still holds facts that are relevant today. Honest weights and measures were important to the Lord back than and therefore should be important today if society is to retain an ethical standard for it's monetary system. Paper money is not honest money without the gold and silver standard to back it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christianisme et économie
Reviewed in France on June 11, 2011

Face à la crise économique et monétaire actuelle, pourquoi repenser aux principes bibliques de la création monétaire et de la banque? L'auteur s'y attache sur la base d'une solide analyse de la monnaie dans l'économie à partir des enseignements des penseurs de la théorie autrichiene en économie (Cf. bibliographie).
Il s'agit dans cette approche d'une défense de la civilisation occidentale menacée notamment en raison d'une mauvaise gestion monétaire globale. Il faut donc rétablir une monnaie saine, une situation non inflationniste, en référence à l'étalon-or.
Lire aussi, pour une défense de l'économie libre d'un point de vue catholique: "The Church and the Market" de Thomas E. Woods. Jr.
