| March 18, 1968 - "Good Money Is Coined Freedom" Speech by William McChesney Martin, 1968 |
| Today, we have a speech by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, William
McChesney Martin, given on March 18, 1968. At this time, the Bretton
Woods era was coming to an end, not because of some inherent problem,
but because those in charge of maintaining it (including Martin) really
didn't know what they were doing. It was the simplest thing in the
world -- a time of peace and prosperity worldwide -- but they were not
up to the task.

Snowballs have a short life expectancy in Death Valley.
Fiat currencies, backed by credit and debt, survive longer than
snowballs in Death Valley, but history shows all fiat currencies are
inflated into worthlessness and eventually die.

| Banker Gold Price Suppression Currency Manipulations Have Persisted for 50 years |
| This 1967 meeting of the FOMC nearly 46 years ago is clear and indisputable evidence of gold price suppression and currency manipulation of the world's "free" and "open" market exchanges.
This criminal cabal has certainly built up their mechanisms since this time to conceal their sinister scheme from issuing dishonest money. It's blatant now and all of "in your face" is their behavioral response to inquiry. Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.

| Why We Now Measure Gold in Dollars — and Not the Other Way Around |
| Prior to 1933, the name "dollar" was used to refer to a unit of gold that had a weight of 23.22 grains. Since there are 480 grains in one ounce, this means that the name dollar also stood for 0.048 ounce of gold. This in turn, means that one ounce of gold referred to $20.67.Observe that $20.67 is not the price of one ounce of gold in terms of dollars as popular thinking has it, for there is no such entity as a dollar. Dollar is just a name for 0.048 ounce of gold. On this Rothbard wrote,No one pSunday, February 24, 2019 |

| What Is Key for the Price Formation of Gold |
| Robert Blumen discusses some important but widely misunderstood elements acting on the gold price. He explains that frequently cited gold demand statistics have no relationship to the gold price. In addition, he explains that the annual gold mine production is of very little influence, as gold is hoarded, not consumed like other commodities.

| Haiti is home to a strange monetary phenomenon. Shopkeepers and merchants set prices in the Haitian dollar, but there is no actual thing as the Haitian dollar.
I've written before about an exotic type of unit-of-account known as an abstract unit of account. A nation's unit of account is the sign used by its citizens and businesses to advertise and record prices. Here in Canada we use the $ while in a place like Japan people use the ¥. The national unit of account almost always corresponds to iWednesday, January 30, 2019 |

P. Morgan had organized a central bank to prevent those Panics.He and other bankers finally got the government to go along with their idea and pass it into law in late 1913.And wouldn’t you know it — we’ve had no more Panics since then.Saturday, January 5, 2019 |
