In this interview Dr Ron Paul talks to Jan Skoyles about gold, bitcoin and the monetary system. Dr Paul is a former US Congressman and Presidential Candidate. He is highly regarded in the world of Austrian economics and discussions surrounding sound money and the monetary system.
Jan Skoyles first discovered Dr Paul’s work when she read End the Fed in 2010 when writing her dissertation. The interview is an interesting collaboration between two commentators who have been through totally different experiences in the monetary system and yet reach similar conclusions as to the issues it faces. Whilst they perhaps disagree on the solution and on new developments such as bitcoin, the discussion provides a useful insight into the challenges facing the monetary system and for those trying to find a solution.
Main topics discussed:
One key message from the interview between Dr Ron Paul and Jan Skoyles is the importance of gold investment.
