INCREDIBLY EXCITING NEWS đź’Ą
Judy Shelton has officially joined the U.S. Treasury Department as Counselor to the Secretary.
This is one of the most meaningful appointments in monetary policy in years.
For decades, Judy has been one of the clearest, most principled voices for sound money.
She has spent her career thinking deeply about the architecture of the global financial system, the moral dimension of money, and the damage caused by unstable currencies.
Her track record is Exceptional:
đź”´Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution
đź”´Author of the prophetic The Coming Soviet Crash (1989)
đź”´Author of Money Meltdown (1994)
đź”´Author of Good as Gold:
How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money (2024)
đź”´Former Chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy
đź”´U.S. Executive Director at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
đź”´Economic advisor during the Trump transition (Treasury team)
đź”´Longtime director of the Sound Money Project
She has consistently argued that money is a moral contract between government and citizens, that a currency which steadily loses purchasing power is a quiet betrayal of the people who use it.
Her proposals for gold-linked Treasury bonds and a more disciplined monetary framework are thoughtful, historically grounded, and forward-looking.
Having someone of Judy’s intellect, integrity, and deep commitment to sound money principles inside the Treasury is a genuine cause for optimism.
She brings decades of scholarship, real-world international experience, and an unwavering belief that America can and should lead with a stronger, more trustworthy dollar.
Congratulations, Judyđź‘Ź
This is very well deserved. The ideas you’ve championed for so long are finally closer to the center of policy discussions.
Exciting times ahead 🙌
