## Resource

The political class wants you to hate gold. That's why politicians and their enablers in the mainstream media and academia constantly badmouth it. But have you noticed that government people actually love gold? You don't need to look any further than the recent central bank gold-buying spree to make this case. So, why does the political class want to have gold, but it doesn't want you to have gold? Control. As host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, you are harder to control when you have sound money. In other words, gold supports liberty. Mike explains exactly how sound money undergirds freedom and, along the way, highlights government efforts around the world to get more gold to increase their power.
