Arcadia Economics, Released on 7/12/23

Most precious metals advocates are aware that gold and silver have been used as money for thousands of years. Yet the actual history of gold and silver as money in the US can be a complex topic, with different interpretations of what the constitution states, and how those laws were meant to be applied. So in today’s show, historian James Turk talks about the history of gold and silver as money in the US, and some of the evolution that has brought us to where we are today. Which is a bit different than what our founding fathers had in mind, and Americans are currently feeling the impact of some of the less than positive changes that have taken place since it all began. James also talks about what he thinks we will see going forward, how the monetary system could evolve in a more positive fashion, and what he would advocate if the decisions were up to him. So for a great overview of the history of gold and silver as money in the US, as well as a template of what we might see going forward, click to watch this video now!
