This audio seminar was recorded live on July 22, 2005.

We live in an abundant world. However, we have built an economy where making money all too often destroys our real wealth -- our environment, our communities, our health, our skill base and our financial well being.

In this seminar, Franklin economy and enjoying financial prosperity by growing real wealth.

At his Top of the World Farm in Tennessee, Franklin Sanders is a living example of real wealth building. With his wife Susan, he is a successful precious metals dealer, farmer and author. He and Susan have seven beautiful children and even more grandchildren. From a lifetime of experience on the ground, there is no one better at de-mystifying our current money system or describing the opportunity to get back to the basics of building real wealth.

"One of the points I like to make to people who have contemplated economic crash way too long is ...that the morning after the crash, someone is going to wake up wanting breakfast. And someone else is going to cook breakfast for them.
   – Franklin Sanders

This audio seminar is one of our favorites -- and essential background for anyone who wants to get out of a political economy that is destroying our world and get back to building real wealth.
