Gerry Epstein Refutes Peter Schiff & Ron Paul's Nonsense Re. US Going Off Gold Standard

[ThePatriotMuckraker]

What esptein has stated is technically true. But, he is wrong to assume that currency does not require some sort of backing. Furthermore, Gold & Silver are instruments to which ALL countries can measure their currencies against and AGREE upon. epstein is rightfully criticizing neo-liberal politics/economics, yet he contradicts his argument by viewing the rest of the world from a "Ameri-centric" perspective. Countries only care that another countries currency is backed with something they trust.

Cancellation of the tangible gold standard gave rise to "floating exchanges" due to the new currency fluctuations. In an attempt to offset these week-to-week (or so) currency fluctuations multi-national companies created in-house financial services. Like a recent Nobel Prize winner in economics said ... ... there should be a money standard, we have a standard for length, mass, volume, time, etc. .... why not for money ?

Why does a currency have to be overly-devalued ?

There's a saying "God makes gold, Man makes money". Gold enforces fiscal discipline/responsibility, something that politicians do not like as evidenced from Nixon's actions. With a tangible money standard, excessive spending on wars and those more-foolish social programs is difficult. When gold was dropped, the US got lazy and preferred the "financial engineering" over the "technical engineering" path (such a shame).
