“That's right: come Monday morning we will have managed to survive four decades of fiat money – though, given the chaos in markets in recent weeks, it is anyone's guess how much longer it will last…”
Read: “Abandoning the gold standard was a seminal moment, and one we're now all paying for.”

UPDATE: I give you the man who gave us our modern crises economy, Richard Nixon, the man who was forced to divorce the US dollar from gold back when it was tied at $40/ounce. Who forced him? It was those speculators, you know.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
