The Case Against Gold: Why Ron Paul is Wrong About The Gold Standard by Gregg Hilton

[John_James]

@James C

"If we had a gold standard, we wouldn’t need complex monetary policy. But how do we get from here to there? There might not be a way."

ive actually been wondering about this. is there a way to return to a gold standard that doesnt involve those who kept their savings in paper money and none in precious metals going into the poorhouse?

Someone else actually had a question close to this here.

Rothbard goes into this as he explains the case for a fully commodity-backed currency (as well as a practical, step-by-step plan for making it happen)…
