There is nothing wrong with trying to preserve one's capital in hard times, but the only real solution is to use one's capital to stop the present trends. In the long run, there is no way to profit from a destroyed America. There is no refuge from a collapse. There is no way to protect your assets, your home, your job, your family, your freedom. As Henry Hazlitt phrased it, "There is no safe hedge against inflation except to stop it." G. Edward Griffin, "The creature from Jekyll Island", 1994
