| About Jim Richter |   |
Jim Richter was born in New York City in 1952. While growing up, he lived in New York, California, and Germany. He also spent a lot of time in rural Arkansas with his grandparents. He graduated from Williams College in 1974, having majored in history. He took a "year off" from school and got a job as as a Nursing Assistant in a psychiatric hospital. After that experience, he went to Emory University School of Law, in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating in 1978. While there he met his wife, Melinda, a classmate. They have been married for more than 30 years, and they have two children. After law school, Jim spent 12 years as a prosecutor. During that time, he handled more than 50 murder cases, and virtually every other kind of criminal case under Georgia's criminal law. Jim then went into private practice, and he continues to practice law in a small law firm in Atlanta, Georgia. He likes to play golf, but he's no good at it. He also likes to play music, and he is good at that.
In 2000, like many other people, Jim took a financial hit when the stock market crashed. He set out on a personal mission to learn why, as well as what he could do to protect himself and his family from financial harm. This website is the result of that personal mission. Jim has come to recognize that a nation's monetary system sets the tone of just about everything in a society. If the monetary system is honest and moral, then prosperity and great personal freedom are possible. When the monetary system is dishonest and immoral, then this is reflected in society as a whole. This website is dedicated to honest money and honest monetary policy.
