In this episode of the Gold Exchange podcast, esteemed monetary economist Judy Shelton joins hosts Ben Nadelstein and Keith Weiner to discuss her latest book, "Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money."

Shelton delves into the challenges of fiscal unsustainability in the U.S. and proposes the issuance of 50-year U.S. Treasury "Treasury Trust Bonds" backed by gold to foster sound finances.

The discussion covers the impact of Federal Reserve policies on wealth distribution and inflation, the need for intellectual diversity within the Fed, and the parallels between U.S. monetary policy and Soviet-style central planning.
