Eps 577 - Imagine the 20th Century Under a REAL Gold Standard

I am constantly telling this audience that almost ALL of our problems as a country could be solved by an HONEST MONEY SYSTEM. This is hard for most people to believe because money is just ever-present and they don't fully understand how it works. They also just assume because we're America, we must be doing what we're doing because it is what a free society does. The newest book in the Trilogy of books by Saifedean Ammous examines what the 20th Century might have looked like under a Gold Standard. It is a fascinating thought experiment and under the direction of Ammous, it tends to highlight just how much of our wealth has been stolen by governments and their FIAT MONEY.
