Currency collapse dynamics

The reason we accept paper money as a store of value is habit. This habit has its origins in history, when banks took our gold as deposit and issued paper receipts for it. The gold has gone, but the paper with its habitual value remains, and we accept it without question. The only backing is a vague government promise. There is no sound ...

Improving the banking system

Governments grant central banks a monopoly on the creation of hard currency. At the same time, we ordinarily make transactions with other means of payment supplied by commercial banks.

Recently Rob McEwen of McEwen Mining Co. and Michael Crofton of Philadelphia Trust discussed the pros and cons of the gold standard. In this debate, Mr McEwen made an excellent case for gold as “the ultimate currency”. He argued that using gold as currency could help restore fiscal discipline in governments; and that, in ...
