Harry burst onto the national radar in 1970 with the publication of his prescient bestseller, How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation. In this book, he predicted that in the wake of 35 years of government manipulation in gold prices, the U.S. would be forced to default on the Bretton Woods Agreement, stop selling gold to foreign central banks at US$35 an ounce, and devalue the all-powerful U.S. dollar. 

Harry's explanations of money and economics were brilliant in their simplicity. He accurately predicted the consequences of devaluation. He urged readers to buy gold, silver and the Swiss franc as a hedge against devaluation. Those who followed his advice reaped fortunes. His book rocketed to the top of the national best-seller lists, seeding a new 'hard-money' industry of books, newsletters and conferences that flourished and linger to this day.

While Harry's investment books (he wrote eight more) and newsletters enjoyed wide success over the following two decades, his most important and longest-lived work was not about investments at all. His 1978 best-seller, How You Can Find Freedom in an Unfree World, spoke to all who struggle against the over-arching walls of government, the legal system, the social customs and mores of our cultures, and the interpersonal relationships that seem to restrict our personal freedom. 

Harry's "How You Can Find Freedom in an Unfree World" - Now Available Online 
Harry's lovely and beloved wife Pamela has kept his work alive through his website, www.harrybrowne.org. To commemorate the anniversary of his passing, last week she announced that How You Can Find Freedom in an Unfree World, which has been out of print for the past few years, is now available for download. For those who struggle to achieve individual sovereignty, it is an opportunity to add a very perceptive and compelling work to their library of libertarian thought. 
Defining freedom as "the opportunity to live your life as you want to live it," Harry guided readers through the turmoil each of us struggles with in our daily lives. These struggles included social restrictions, family problems, high taxes, bad relationships, the work treadmill and the ever-present incursions of government. You are not free for two reasons, he said: you're unaware of the many alternatives available, and you've accepted assumptions that restrict your freedom.

In our personal relationships with our mates, friends, families, and our business relationships, Harry argued that most are bound by oppressive emotional and identity traps and boxes which are no more than the imaginary barriers of a belief system. 

Harry defined these traps and pointed out that you can explore alternative choices-say in the job you hold, the moral precepts you accept, and the relationships you feel bound by-can free you from these self-imposed boundaries. His explanations of how to break free of our false assumptions led thousands of readers to count the book among the most important and life-changing they had ever read.
