I hesitate to answer....Alison, you're too kind. I hesitate to answer. The more I learn, the more I realise the little I know!<br /><br />Fausty, I have pondered this very issue, but I don't think it would be unsurmountable. Good old Ron Paul is plugging away trying to get an audit of the gold in Fort Knox. It would be interesting to know how much, if any, is still there, likewise in the BoE, after Gordon Brown's terrible decision (I believe he was only following orders from above - EU or Bilderberg not sure which!).<br /><br />Don't forget silver. In a free market, gold and silver will both operate as money, and silver is much less controlled, due to its relative abundance.<br /><br />In any case, I think where there's a will, there's a way, and the point Rothbard makes is that we need to keep fighting for what we believe, as this moves the argument in the right direction. For a great many years, there has not been a will amongst the mainstream economists and politicians, but we live in interesting times. The Age of the dollar as world reserve may well be coming to an end, and not every country may wish to go along with a new Bretton Woods. Who can say what will happen?Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-47111767824816714712010-11-17T21:11:24.956+00:002010-11-17T21:11:24.956+00:00A gem of a quote, Trooper.
One thing that worries...A gem of a quote, Trooper.<br /><br />One thing that worries me about the world adopting the gold standard is that the majority of the gold is probably held by the very banksters which fried the world's economy.<br /><br />If they own most of the gold, they still have us by the short and curlies.<br /><br />I am also reminded of what transpired in the US - Roosevelt confiscated the public's gold.<br /><br />Apart from that, I'm all for an asset-backed currency, which prevents unscrupulous governments from 'printing' money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-90322226860290104022010-11-17T20:39:02.049+00:002010-11-17T20:39:02.049+00:00where and how did you amass this wealth of knowled...where and how did you amass this wealth of knowledge on the who's and what's about politics, Trooper?alisonnoreply@blogger.com
