Default Re: If the Gold standard came back ...

Here are some videos with Ron Paul debating a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on the gold standard in 1983:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7

The video quality is poor, but all you really need is to be able to hear the audio. I’m fairly sure Ron Paul hasn’t changed his views since then.

If you're still not convinced that the gold standard is the way to go, how about reading this essay titled “Gold and Economic Freedom” by Alan Greenspan. He also supports the gold standard.

Youre only 40 years too late. Greenspan does not support the gold standard any longer.

In his new book he says he is "nostalgic" for the fiscal restraint gold forces, but that he now realizes it is inconsistent with a welfare state that most Americans want. He doesn't say whether HE wants that or not.
