Lawrence Parks has been appointed to TheGoldStandardNow.org, a project of the Lehrman Institute. Institute founder and Chairman Lewis E. Lehrman said, Dr. Parks has been a leader in educating Americans about the evils inherent in our current fiat money system and about the benefits of an honest monetary system. As a writer, broadcaster, and a noted monetary policy expert of such stature as to have been called as an expert witness before the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, he has helped Americans understand what a true and honest money system looks like and how it would benefit all working Americans seeking opportunity.
Upon accepting the appointment, Parks said, With the monetary system we have now, the careful saving of a lifetime can be wiped out in the blink of an eye. It is urgent to change our monetary system before it implodes. It is an honor to be associated with Lewis Lehrman in achieving this goal.
TheGoldStandardNow.org is a website that provides information about the classical gold standard. The site provides key writings, historical information, breaking news, featured articles from the world media and frequently updated original content.
