It is a little long, and it reqwires some focus, but this is among the best articles I've read for qwite a while.
Here are a couple of pull qwotes to entice you:
"politicians serve their own self-interest by paying off their constituents with money collected from their opponents' constituents."
And:
"The West's best chance of avoiding this transfer of international power is to continue to educate younger Chinese economists in one or another of the West's gold-hating graduate schools in economics. The professors must teach the Chinese that gold is just another commodity, except that it's a barbarous relic."
I recommend this article, and I look forward to hearing what the active members of this forum say in response to it.
Thank you in advance for your time, I trust that if you are interested in metal as money, you will find this article to be better than most in this area.
Peace!
