“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Inflation represents the economic activity "financed" by government. The more they waste, the higher the inflation...
Seizing gold just gave the government the opportunity to print more worthless paper money. The commodity "gold" was given a fixed/artificial price... not a floating one... or it's value/worth would have increased based upon the laws of supply and demand.
Remember when the FDR administration arrested people for hoarding gold?
ReplyDeletePepperidge Farms remembers.
When you buy gold now, you don't get gold to take home with you...
ReplyDeleteJust wait until America's cyber divisions start targeting the blockchains...

Bretton Woods was the result.
ReplyDeleteYup.
ReplyDeleteThe government was happy to let gold skyrocket in value onc they possessed most of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's why they sell $50 gold coins for $1800 now
ReplyDelete...even though the currency isn't backed by gold now. Debt is the store of value now.
ReplyDeleteWanna buy some debt?
Oh... Is your asset troubled now?
ReplyDeleteNot while it's invested in the means of actual production. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen the government confiscates that, Venezuelan style inflation becomes a certainty.
ReplyDeleteUntil they hide it under a new store of value, like an NFT or bundled subprime mortgages.
ReplyDeleteIt's uncollectible promissory notes all the way down.
ReplyDeleteWe'll pass our debts to extraterrestrials. It's the American way.
ReplyDeleteNo, we all pay for it like a "tax" in the present as "inflation".
ReplyDeleteA tax on savings, yes. But the stack of cash you have in the bank will always be more worthless to you than to the bank it is in.
ReplyDeleteAnd the government gets it's interest free loans from you at gunpoint.
