Do you think fiat currency should be replaced by gold? If so, given the current distribution and availability of gold, along with dispute over what it is worth, this would take the world economy down, and create world war. Perhaps eventually this particular fiat currency (or set of currencies) that we use now will be replaced by another one, but hopefully not by gold. Armstrong says no culture or economy based on gold as currency or as the standard by which all else is measured has ever survived for long, then goes on to prove it. The problems we have are not caused by gold not being currency or the standard, and are not solvable by gold becoming the currency or standard. www.321gold.com
