The Big Reset

The Big ResetIn his book The Big Reset, Willem Middelkoop explores the volatile history of money, tracing its evolution from commodity-based systems to the current era of unbacked fiat currencies. He argues that the global financial landscape is defined by a "war on gold," where central banks manipulate economic data and print money to sustain a fragile mountain of debt. Middelkoop highlights how historical shifts, such as the abandonment of the gold standard, have led to a systemic loss of purchasing power and the creation of massive bond bubbles. He warns that the present trajectory of quantitative easing and debt monetization is unsustainable and will inevitably result in a statistical failure. Ultimately, the text predicts an imminent monetary reboot where gold will regain its status as a primary reserve asset and the U.S. dollar will lose its global dominance.
