Without money, we’d be reduced to barter and the double [...]

I recently read a great post over at FOFOA, titled “The Debtors and the Savers 2012“. I’ve been reading a lot of FOFOA lately, and learning more about the “Freegold” thesis. The essence of the thesis, as I understand it, lies in the following chain of events: The U.S. economy is currently running massive deficits, [...]

These posts go over the banking system, the role of the US dollar in the world economy, and the gradual withdrawing of political and ancillary support from the USD as the world’s reserve currency. Based on the latest numbers, the [...]

It’s now 2012, and the United States will elect a new president to run the (still) most powerful country in the world.

Are you worried about the government coming in and outlawing private gold possession again? After all, it wouldn’t be the first time they had done so — the same was done by the FDR government, back in the Great Depression.
