This compelling study outlines the rise of 'fiat' money and its associated economic implications. The author provides enough circumstantial evidence to claim a secret War on Gold since the London Gold Pool of the 1960s, highlighting gold's traditional role as the anchor of financial systems. To combat the economic fallout of the credit crisis, governments have allowed their budgetary deficit to increase dramatically. To redress that imbalance, they then have to sell enormous amounts of bonds. As investors stop buying bonds, central banks have to step up to the plate by printing more and more money. Piling more and more bad debt onto the balance sheets of central banks is not a sustainable way to revive the economy. Middelkoop highlights the process as part of our economic endgame which he predicts will eventually lead to a big reset of our worldwide financial system. 650 0 $a Gold standard. 650 0 $a Currency convertibility. 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006083046.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150422011440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B97110EAE8B511E4A38716A7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
