The Authentic Judy Shelton
A Maverick Economist Takes on Washington
There are people who spend their whole career inside the conversation, and there are people who spend it trying to change what the conversation even is. Dr. Shelton is the second kind. When I sat down with her at her home, what struck me was not the policy arguments - those are in the papers, in the hearings, in the books. It was the stubbornness of a conviction held for forty years while the wind blew the other way. That is what this film is about.

Now, with the 50-year gold bond on the table and a dollar under siege, her argument is moving from the margins to the mainstream.
