Congress by Rep. Ron
Paul

Harry
Browne was an inspirational speaker, and
wrote 12 books that have sold more than 2
million copies. In 1996 and 2000 he was
the nominee of the Libertarian Party for
President of the United States.
Browne
was a successful investment advisor for 30
years. He was unknown in the investment
world when his first book, How You Can
Profit from the Coming Devaluation,
was published in 1970. Recognizing the
disastrous monetary policy of the U.S.
government, he warned that the dollar
would be devalued, inflation could be
severe, and gold, silver, and foreign
currencies should skyrocket in value. The
book's theme clashed with the prevailing
wisdom, but it struck a chord with tens of
thousands of Americans, and the book made
the New York Times bestseller
list.
In
1973 he published How I Found Freedom
in an Unfree World, a self-help book
that shows individuals how to take
responsibility for their own lives. Many
people consider the book to be a modern
classic and it remains in demand three
decades after its first
publication.
He
was a popular public speaker. He appeared
on the Today show, Hannity & Colmes,
The O'Reilly Factor, Meet the Press, Wall
$treet Week, The Larry King Show, and
hundreds of other national and local radio
and television shows.
