It was a good article, but:
Great article, but I don't think he added in a premium for the fact that all fiat currencies (including ours) is failing. No one trusts the value of paper. You see crooks like Corzine walking after looting MF's private accounts, people just don't trust them anymore. The bail outs for banks and businesses around the world are another reason why currencies are failing. If all a government has to do is print money and say *poof* your absolved of any responsibility because you have a government connection, success and failure is the pumping heart of the economy. If government decides who wins and loses its like it gave our economy a heart attack. I mean does anyone remember the fiat mantra "Full faith and credit" Now we have full credit and no faith.
