| Gold price rigging is as old as gold itself |
| Writing today for Forbes, the economist, fund manager, and author Nathan Lewis proves that Harry Truman was right about gold as well as everything else insofar as "the only thing new in the world is the history you don't know."

| The World Gold Standard of 1870-1914: the Most Perfect Monetary System Ever ... |
|
The most perfect monetary system humans have yet created was the world gold standard system of the late 19th century, roughly 1870-1914.We don’t have to hypothesize too much about what a new world gold standard system could look like.We can just look at what has already been done.
Contrary to popular belief, people generally did not conduct commerce with gold coins.Monday, January 07, 2013 |

| The Federal Reserve in the 1920s 4: The Historical Record |
|
We've been looking at what the Federal Reserve was up to in the 1920s.
December 16, 2012: The Federal Reserve in the 1920s: Balance Sheet and Base Money
November 25, 2012: The Federal Reserve in the 1920s 2: Interest Rates
November 18, 2012: The Federal Reserve in the 1920s
This has been quite productive, not only as an examination of the Federal Reserve itself, but also as an example of how most central banks (and note-issuing commercial banks) worked in the 1900-1914 period.Wednesday, December 26, 2012 |

| Embracing Stable Money Today |
|
The reason we have floating currencies today is to enable economic management via currency manipulation.Central banks attempt to guide macroeconomic factors like unemployment, economic growth, interest rates, inflation and so forth by jiggering the currency.
This idea is very old, and was expressed in many forms by the Mercantilist writers of the 1600-1780period.Tuesday, December 25, 2012 |

| The Tax Debate Is a Diversion |
|
One thing that united both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, around 2009, was their opposition to corporatism/crony capitalism.Someone had committed some very big crimes, and they were getting away with it.Immense sums were being stolen from taxpayers, mostly by big banks, around the world.Monday, December 17, 2012 |

Fiscal Cliff Compromise Will Lead To Stepped-Up Money Printing  |
|
Probably nothing good will happen in the discussions surrounding the “fiscal cliff” in January 2013.Federal spending is almost impossible to cut meaningfully, because most of it is “mandatory” entitlements.The remainder of federal government spending consists of other welfare programs (hard to reduce in the midst of persistent unemployment), defense (which Republicans won’t want to cut unless they get some big cuts in welfare and entitlements), corporate subsidy, and Big Bird.Monday, November 19, 2012 |

How To Make a Pile of Dough With the Traditional City 10: Let's Bulldoze a Big Box Shopping Center 2: No, Seriously
A few months ago, I suggested that one good way to start our transition from Suburban Hell to something much nicer would be to, perhaps, bulldoze a big box shopping center, and build something there that was a little more like Paris or Venice, or Tokyo.Monday, November 12, 2012 |

Booms and Busts of the Gold Standard Era  |
|
The Keynesian economists claim that gold standard systems have historically caused “booms and busts.” Recently, I asserted that no major economic event was caused by a currency of stable value.The purpose of a gold standard system is to provide a currency of stable value – as stable as can be attained in our imperfect world – and, for the most part, it achieved this goal over a period of centuries.Friday, November 09, 2012 |
