In light of recent events and for the purposes of making sure we are not just sheepishly following the crowd off a potential cliff, I shall impose this question as a devil's advocate:
Why we on GAW are certain that gold standard is going to solve all of our problems? Also why are we certain that a return to the gold standard is Q's plan?
I am fully aware of Q's "Gold will end the Fed" quote, but it does not explicitly say that the White Hats will abolish the Fed and bring us back to the Gold Standard. It is probably a simple statement of facts like saying the Sky is blue and the sun rises in the east.
To address part of your question, I submit Jorg Guido Hulsmann’s essay on the cultural and spiritual impact of fiat inflation.
Hulsmann, an Austrian school economist, argues that fiat inflation undermines traditional values of thrift, hard work, and savings, and encourages a culture of instant gratification and consumerism. This leads to a decline in moral values and a loss of faith in institutions.
This essay originally published a decade ago is what opened my eyes to the true evil of a fiat, inflationary monetary system. Essentially, as the money is corrupted so is the nation.
