Trying to stump me, you bot‽On the other hand, I will leave you just one question.
What is gold standard anyway? Who give gold the value it have today when gold is just one of the element in our periodic table same as silver, aluminium, mercury and every other element?
You dont have to answer that as I don't expect people like you, and especially you to be able to, and I will leave this discussion here.
I threw you a bone to chew on and you throw the periodic table at me... seriously?
But in a way it is good for all to see the champ of financial literacy!
The very fact that you asked and equated it with the rest of the periodic table... thanks for the laugh, dude!
It is a non corrosive, malleable metal that could be melted and re-minted ad infinitum. It is why we still find minted period coins to this day. A storer of value transcending time!
Which brings me to gold standard or any other for that matter, and problem(s) with it... as demonstrated... the paper could be printed in perpetuity with little or nothing backing it!
Which is where we stand today.
In other words "derived value" is an instrument of corruption.
