On A Gold Standard And The Free Market For Goods, Services, And Money

Lol Someone needs to mention the fact of "There ain't no free lunch" to the "elite" of society, because they're still expecting it "On time, Every time", and the kicker to that point is, the tip (think jobs) that they should have left "Us"(think taxpayer here)for serving them so efficient and graciously, they give to economically developing counties, at a much lower price(think wage, as in pennies on the dollar) and in the mean time, our economy stagnates or in all actuality, contacts (think massive weight loss due to nothing to eat) and "We" grow weaker by the day, while our government, throws a part for the "elite" (think corporations here) plying them with the finest of fares( think tax breaks) that the rest of "Us"(taxpayer) pay for, while trying to survive off of the crumbs, that are dropped on the floor(think food stamps) that the government and the "elite" will make "Us" all indentured servants for, the rest of "Our" (think all of humanity here) future generation of lives.
It's a wicked gamed to play, but they do and they're very good at it


A free market is composed of people who produce and trade the products of their efforts in exchange for the products of others. The free market is able to coordinate the activities of everyone, and enable everyone to optimize his results. Unfortunately, governments interfere in the free market. They do so by the use of force. The government always justifies its intrusions on the grounds of helping people. Government officials and voters are not aware of the lessons of Frederic Bastiat. The attempt of all to live at the expense of all is doomed. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. Rather than helping people, the government’s interference inevitably causes distortion. As destructive as government interference is in the area of production, it is that much worse in the area of money and credit. Every aspect of production and trade depends on money, so distortions in this area are magnified. Unfortunately, the government has distorted the monetary system so badly that both are accelerating towards destruction. The solution, and the only hope for civilization, is to rediscover the principles of free markets, particularly on the monetary realm, and begin returning to a gold standard.



The following thesis, while long, examines these themes in great detail; from Rand to Bastiat and the Nine 'Government-' and Seven 'Central Banking Monetary-' Interferences, the case for a 'proper' Gold Standard is clear:


"…if we are to have a dynamic economy with production, trade, invention, innovation, global markets, and growing efficiency then there must be a financial system in which gold flows"
