“Is there any reason to doubt? Any reason for worries? Any reason to stash a gold coin in your safe, just in case this reprise of credit-based money doesn’t pan out? It took the Soviets 70 years to realise that their experiment with primitive communism wouldn’t work. They tried to run a huge, modern nation as though it were a paleolithic tribe. It took Zimbabwe nearly 30 years to discover that it couldn’t cover its expenses by printing up its own credit-based money (though it didn’t begin running the presses at full speed until near the end). And how long did it take the Thousand-Year Reich to discover that ignoring the laws of civilised nations would be fatal? Only 12 years!”
