Category : History of Gold

"Gold was not selected arbitrarily by governments to be the monetary standard. Gold had developed for many centuries on the free market as the best money; as the commodity providing the most stable and desirable monetary medium...I see a great future for gold and silver coins as the currency people may increasingly turn to when paper currencies begin to disintegrate."

Murray N. Rothbard
