Lew Rockwell: The cause that won't go away

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA does not advocate any particular monetary arrangements other than free-market and transparent arrangements, but it's unlikely that anyone in GATA would disagree with Lew Rockwell's conclusion in his new essay, "The Cause That Won't Go Away." Rockwell writes:

"People have lots of questions about how to restore gold as money. These are all fascinating, but my whole experience here tells me that the resistance to radical reform has nothing to do with such technical details. People suspect that the gold standard would disempower the nation-state as we know it, including its ability to wage endless wars. To me this is the strongest case for reform. If we want freedom and peace, the gold standard is the topic that cannot and will not die."
