epistemology and the gold forum, page-3

Interesting stuff timber and something that has never made real sense to me.

Most on this forum would consider me to be of the left and I won't quibble with that. However, I've long seen gold as a form of fiscal discipline. We've seen what happens when the gold standard was dropped and central banks given free reign to do pretty much as they wished.

Gold has been considered a store of value pretty much since the dawn of human civilisation. Those ideas and habits die hard.
