Unemployment and groupthink  (6)
It would be a 'perfect world' if both 'un-employed' and 'employed' were ... zero. The meaning of such data would be that all Americans were freely existing outside government's Plantation. Oh joy, oh joy.

We Cannot Get Away from Gold or Silver  (15)
Excerpt: "Only when the number of units becomes totally unwieldy is the inflating fiat currency finally rejected, in favor of some alternative fiat currency (no recourse to gold or silver being possible at present.)"

Neither statement above is true. Resolution of (inevitable) banknote failures hasn't always been to replacement banknotes. Also, gold and silver can very well be re-introduced rather quickl...

Time-preference and gold  (5)
In my own estimation, the paramount difference between banknotes (so-called 'currency') and money (copper, silver and gold) is that banknotes, owing to the fact that they are borrowed intellectual Property of an issuing bank, can only Lawfully secure an item's conditional right of possession for an indeterminate period of time.

When we realize that banknote currencies have generally depreciated in purchase power by 98% over this past century, ignoring that fact and conceiving debt in terms of a hundred years ago (or even twenty-five) makes the debt seem 'unpayable'. BUT, given th...
