Re: Explain to an idiot the benefits of going back to the Gold standar
[ QUOTE ]
I'm sorry, but if you don't get the difference between someone putting their money into the stock market and therefore keeping it circulating
[/ QUOTE ]
a) well if you buy 1 share of stock and hold it versus buying one gold coin and keeping it, how is the share of stock "circulated".
b) if it's so simple, just explain it.
c) my main point of course is that both activities are "investment", not "spending".
I mean, even today one can invest in stocks or invest in stuff like gold coins, are you saying the guy who invests in stocks is more likely to spend extravagently?
