what is bernanke's game plan ?, page-7

Interesting post RB, one thought comes to mind should something like this happen.
Should gold become the new defacto measure of wealth, all gold mines in the developing world will surely be nationalized as gold becomes the new printing press for currency. No national government will allow foreign companies the right to profit from such activity, it would be like giving them the keys to the printing press. Sure, they might allow them to mine but on a contract basis. Gold shares like KCN in Thailand, and a host of others all over the world would plummet. Aussie miners at home might do ok unless the "national interest" too precedence. Just a thought.
