| | Donald Luskin on Alan Greenspan and Gold on NRO Financial |
| | Although the gold standard could hardly be portrayed as having produced a period of price tranquility, it was the case that the price level in 1929 was not much different, on net, from what it had been in 1800. | | | As gold continued to fall, Greenspan at first failed to cut rates, and eventually raised them sharply. | | | The press didn't really pick up on the importance of this speech, because we've all become accustomed to thinking of gold as a "barbarous relic," to use Keynes' famous phrase. |

| | Gold bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Gold bugs are also often associated with attempts to return to the gold standard monetary system and many like to point out what they perceive as the shortcomings of fiat money. | | | Gold bugs may consider making such views known as a public service or even a public duty. | | | Recently, gold bugs have pointed to rapidly rising oil prices and the unwillingness of China to significantly de-couple the value of its own currency (the renminbi) from the US dollar as complementary rationales for purchasing and holding gold. |

| | THE COSTS OF A GOLD STANDARD |
| | Under a gold standard suppliers of goods or of labor services exchange their supplies for gold (or for bank notes redeemable in gold) not because the gold standard is seen as having great merit, but because gold is the customarily accepted medium of exchange. | | | It is the gold standard's substantial immunity from State manipulation and tinkering, and not the associated superstition and mythology, that recommends gold as a monetary standard. | | | In the judgment of the proponents of the gold standard, the benefits of gold, immunity from State intervention and the resulting monetary stability, outweigh the resource costs of goldand any other costs that might be associated with the gold standardby a comfortable margin. |

| | This depletion of Britain's reserve signalled to Winston Churchill that returning to a pre-war style gold standard was impractical, instead, John Maynard Keynes, who had argued against such a gold standard, became increasingly influential: his proposals, a more wide ranging version of the "stability pact" style gold standard, would find expression the Bretton Woods Agreement. | | | In an international gold-standard system, which may exist in the absence of any internal gold standard, gold or a currency that is convertible into gold at a fixed price is used as a means of making international payments. | | | Even such gold advocates as Roosevelt's budget director conceded that until it was possible to balance the budget, a gold standard would be impossible. |

| | Gold Standard = Fiat In Disguise |
| | After two generations of this surreptitious enrichment procedure, in which each side thought it was taking advantage of the other, enough gold was accumulated in England to make possible the first overt move toward replacement of the ancient bimetallic silver-and-gold standard with monometallic gold standard. | | | It was an act of deliberate policy that started a chain of events which ultimately led to replacing the eternal silver-and-gold standard with gold standard, and then to reducing gold standard to the fiat money regime. | | | Sovereign coin, consisting of 7.98805 grams of 22-carat gold, was worth 20 shilling coins, whose value was now defined as 1/20th of a gold sovereign because the silver content of one shilling was reduced below a shilling worth of silver. |

| | However, citizens under this new Gold Exchange Standard (also known as the Gold Bullion Standard or the Inter-war Gold Standard) would not receive gold coins of the realm in exchange for their notes, though this had been an integral part of the original Gold Standard now known as the Gold Coin Standard. | | | This partial return to the Gold Standard was done by permitting central banks to keep part of their reserves in currencies that were themselves directly exchangeable for gold coins. | | | Central banks wanted a return to a gold-based economy for easing international trade and facilitating economic stability, but wanted a form of Gold Standard that "conserved" gold stocks - meaning that the gold remained in their vaults and day-to-day transactions were conducted with the representative paper notes. |

| | The gold standard may also be viewed as a monetary system in which changes in the supply and demand of gold determine the value of goods and services in relation to their supply and demand. | | | Typically under a gold standard, the physical transport of gold becomes cumbersome for popular use, and so bank notes (which may be either issued privately or by government) to pay in gold at a later date, circulate. | | | Bryan argued against the gold standard in his Cross of gold speech in 1896, comparing the gold standard (and specifically its effects on western farmers) to the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ at his crucifixion. |
