Should the United States return to the gold standard? The gold standard I am talking about is the system by which the value of a currency was defined in terms of gold, for which the currency could be exchanged.
The gold standard was generally abandoned in the Depression of the 1930s.
I could either have the future pass me or l could create it.

Under a system of perfectly free commerce, each country naturally devotes its capital and labour to such employments as are most beneficial to each. This pursuit of individual advantage is admirably connected with the universal good of the whole. By stimulating industry, by regarding ingenuity, and by using most efficaciously the peculiar powers bestowed by nature, it distributes labour most effectively and most economically.
