This article is a revelation to me: I have been looking t this issue for some time but have been unaware of the EU’s preparatory moves towards a gold-backed international financial system. Despite the endless stream of ridicule directed against the EU leadership it would appear that something of real value has been accomplished. This all makes sense when we recall Giscard d’Estaing’s reference to America’s “exorbitant privilege” of being able to issue fiat to cover a permanent trade and capital deficit. Perhaps to complete the picture we only need to suppose a vast underestimate of China’s gold holdings.
