L'importance cruciale d'un retour à l'étalon-or

What is the best argument as to why Gold should be re-introduced as money? Very simple. Government cannot print it or create it out of thin air by “borrowing” it. Because they cannot do this, their power OVER their people is severely curtailed. Gold circulating as money is an essential bulwark of both economic freedom and political liberty. It deprives government of their means to RULE.
