beat me to comment the same thing - the gold standard. I don't understand why he question marked "real money", i think he thinks the paper money he holds is money and not gold. Let's wait a couple of years
- icebraining 14y agoYou're right, I got the wrong impression from the podcast, which is stupid since I knew about the gold standard and price stability of the time. As for the "scare quotes", I'm aware of the drawbacks of fiat money, but it's still money. Gold is just non-fiat money.
