Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes
While I have my own young padowans I teach and train in economic law and monetary jurisprudence; Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr. is my intellectual mentor. Dr Edwin Vieira Jr, Pieces of Eight author, is the premier expert in this topic. He holds four degrees from Harvard, has argued several cases before the United States Supreme Court and is a prolific author. Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr’s seminal work is the two volume series Pieces Of Eight.
REVIEW: DR. EDWIN VIEIRA JR’S PIECES OF EIGHT
Dr. Edwin Vieira’s Pieces of Eight is a two volume, 1,700+ page, meticulously footnoted treatment of the monetary powers and disabilities of the United States Constitution. I have never come across a scholarly work of comparable quality in any topic. This book is a must have for any serious person’s library. The demand is evidenced by either being hundreds of dollars per volume at Amazon or being sold out (like it currently is).
NEW PRINT RUN OF PIECES OF EIGHT
Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr. has announced, and GATA has echoed, a new print run for Pieces Of Eight. I am happy to see this development because I think every serious investor should have a copy of this extraordinary work. Dr. Edwin Vieira’s announcement:
AUTHOR OF ‘PIECES OF EIGHT’ EDWIN VIEIRA JR. ANNOUNCES A NEW PRINTING
Responding to numerous requests, I have tentatively arranged for a reprinting of my book, “Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution” (second revised edition, 2002).
In light of the accelerating meltdown of America’s monetary and banking systems, this book is more timely and should prove more useful to public officials, public-policy analysts, attorneys, economists, historians, and patriots in general than ever before.
This will be a first-class reprint of the original two-volume, 1,722-page, hardbound, and Smyth-sewn edition, protected during delivery in shrinkwrap. It will be produced by one of the premier book printers in the United States.
But this reprint of “Pieces of Eight” will be made available on a subscription-only basis, and only if a sufficient number of prepaid orders are received before a deadline.
The terms of this special subscription are as follows:
1. The two-volume set will cost $149.95 plus $6.50 (shipping and handling) for a total of $156.45.
2. By no later than August 31 each potential subscriber must send:
– a personal check for $156.45 payable to Edwin Vieira Jr. with the notation “book subscription” and dated August 31, and
– a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
These should be mailed to:
Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr.
52 Stonegate Court
Front Royal, Virginia 22630
USA
These checks will be held but not cashed until August 31.
3. If subscriptions in a sufficient number are received by August 31, printing of the book will be authorized. Probably about eight weeks will be required for printing, with an additional short time for shipment of the books from the printer to me.
4. As soon as practicable after I have received the books, they will be delivered to subscribers by U.S. Postal Service media mail unless other arrangements, at an additional charge, are made prior to shipping.
5. If subscriptions in a sufficient number are not received by August 31, this offer will terminate as of that date (and, presumably, for all time thereafter) and each potential subscriber’s check will be returned in the self-addressed, stamped envelope the potential subscriber has provided.
I should appreciate as wide a circulation of this information as possible.

I subscribe to your email, and have purchased your e-book. My opinion is you are erudite, being well-versed in law and the science of money. What I also see is an apparent assumption on your part where the players play by the rules. I would offer to you there are no rules, a primary state of nature exists. To state a court (such as the Supreme Court) would look like buffoons if they ignored the volumes of research by Dr. Vieira, ignores the distinct possibility they care not if they look like buffoons. They might look like bufoons to you and to me. However, my belief is the vast majority of Americans would look at the two volumes of Dr. Vieira’s work and immediately decide it was too many pages to read, and not worth much in their daily existence. With this in mind, a Justice (not previously bought in the slave trade of politics and power) might well consider it better to be a live buffoon than a dead idealist caught hanging one’s hat on the Constitution. The stroke of the pen suspending the Constitution has already been etched on the paper representing the law of the United States. Witness the emergency powers of the Executive branch, granted by law passed in Congress, waiting to be activated by the Executive branch at the pleasure of the Executive. Envision a Supreme Court comprised of members increasingly beholden to the powers who placed them on the bench. Where is the allegiance? Certainly, I submit, not to the Constitution, interpreting it as an originalist. Rather, the allegiance is to a revisionist stance, legislating from the bench, unbridled by any law of the land save the law they, the collective justices, by decree without basis, determine to be the facts of the moment.
W. Kenedy is well spoken and echos my sentiments, too. Case in point 1: Disdain (and refusal) by this recent court to hear the plight of senior debt holders of Chysler; 2) Convoluting ‘. . . public good’ with ‘. . . public use thereof. . .’ as to rights of eminent domain – and so forth. What have we when the Government by Executive decree violates the writ of Habeus Corpus (preventative detention), subverts unlawful search and seizure (illegal wiretaps) and the Congress ignores Federal Laws against cartels/monopolies by tolerating, even aiding and abetting one of the worst kind in the form of a Federal Reserve Bank that monopolizes interest rates (the price of money) to the detriment of all who work and save? Rue the day people, when ordinary citizens in this country appear by reference on CNN as ‘colateral damage!’
I have a copy of ‘Pieces of Eight’, bought a few years back. This is a desk reference and a must have for anyone concerned about the History of Money and why ‘Honest Money’ matters so much.
How can overseas readers from Australia subscribe for the two volume work PIECES OF EIGHT?
W. Kennedy is correct. To paraphrase another famous American, “Rules (like taxes) are for the little people!”
Mr Kennedy, well spoken and well written.
As mentioned in another comment, “the laws are for the Little people’.
I beg your pardon, I do not consider myself little nor the misapplication of the Constitution a call for subservience but rather a call to arms by the people of this great experiment.
As long as we are idle and allow the usurpers to run roughshod over our forefathers sacrifices we are but swine in a slaughterhouse.
I prefer to be shoulder to shoulder with Patrick Henry.
How much Lead, Silver and Gold do you have to use for freedom?

I just now saw that you could get a copy of Pieces of Eight and I am one day too late. If anyone ordered extra copies to sell I might be interested.
