i disagree gold and silver has served the world well because it is tangible paper money is created from nothing as an interest bearing iou. therefore i would venture that fiat money is much easier to manipulate. the m1,m2,m3 supply is really debt. the price of gold i do believe has been manipulated more in the last century than at any time in history. but if you care to look you will find that the constitution of australia demands as the legal tender of oz, gold and silver coin. the writers new the danger of paper money creation. and no im not worried i just know that its all going to come tumbling down and many will not know why. stepping oput on a limb now...kennedy and lincoln had in common, worries about money creation. kennedy wanted to return to the silver standard and lincolns fight was more against the powers of the bank of england than anything else
