RE:Now for something that might not be so scaryIt would be interesting to discuss this further as an Off topic. At least it's economics. Marner and REE brought up going off the gold standard. "Money" has been debased way before that though hasn't it. "They" used to cut the purity of gold. The original inflation. As long as we keep people working and lifting everyone's boat then go for it. Just watch out for the excess. The froth in the market right now puts Starbucks to shame.
