“Charles Mackay wrote in his classic book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, ‘Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.’ We are in the one-by-one process and the government knows it. The first signs of capital controls have surfaced. Toting $10,000 worth of financial instruments out of the country is verboten. The US government has signed agreements with countries and banks around the world to keep money inside the US. But what happens when the citizenry want to leave the government’s currency? If history is any indication, the government will get mean.”
