Great article. I got into a debate with some of the conspiracy theory gold advocates while back.

They dont seem to acknowledge the fact that no industrialized first world nation uses the gold standard as compared to the GDP. But I guess in their view, they will always be right, no matter the facts.

The most vocal advocates of the gold standard are usually are suprisingly enough usually far left reactionaries hoping to plunge the economy into a recession to bring off an opportunistic communist "revolution" in the ensuing chaos.
