A Progressive Case For Hard Money

Max and Stacy are joined by Alasdair Macleod of Goldmoney.com for his hard money pitch as a solution to many of the global economic and monetary woes causing societal unrest (from Occupy Wall Street to the Yellow Vests) and despair (like the more than 75,000 annual opioid overdoses in the U.S.). They discuss gold as a unit of account and what that would look like. They also examine the newly popular Modern Monetary Theory whereby the government can print money for the people rather than just for banksters, and why this could lead to more problems requiring urgent solutions. They also discuss an end to globalization and how that might restore national economies.
