The gold standard: generator and protector of jobs

June 16, 2010: Hugo Salinas Price

A great article that looks at the historical significance of gold and the political implications attached to it. Considering WWII, the Brenton Woods Conferance and President Richard Nixon's decision to close the gold window in 1971, Mr. Salinas-Price speaks from experience and is a multi-billionaire himself, so you're not getting a view from some economist who never owned a business. A very educational read. BK
