James Turk is a proponent of the free market and identifies the government as the main source of economic hardship. He is particularly critical of the government monopoly on money creation and believes that continuous currency debasement by central banks will lead to hyperinflation and fiat currency collapse, with gold and silver taking their rightful place as money. He believes that money is a product of the free market as opposed to a creation of the government.
