What Will The Coming Gold Standard Look Like?

CEO at Monetary Metals • Aug 5, 2017 at 11:10 AM EDT

Six points about gold and monetary systems.

I gave a talk at FreedomFest last month. Unfortunately, the video was not recorded (not even the projector worked). However, the topic is so important that I recorded the talk back in my office, to put a video to put on the Internet. My talk covers 6 areas:

Two pseudo gold standards
What do people need from a monetary system?
What is the role of the banker?
Why does gold circulate or not circulate?
A working definition of the gold standard
How do we get from here to there?

For those interested in additional reading material, see my articles on why the world needs an Unadulterated Gold Standard, how interest rates are set in a gold standard and the need to remove capital gains tax on gold (and why that isn’t cronyism).

There is so much more to say. Read the full Monetary Metals Outlook 2016 (free registration required). We explore in-depth the points made above. We provide a detailed look at the collapse of commodities, threat of deflation, debt crisis, the dollar, interest rates, the quantity of money and what it all means for gold and silver in 2016.
