“I know in Switzerland you have all kinds of protests coming from the Swiss National Bank or the government – ‘You can’t do this. You can’t require that we have 20% gold backing.’ Well, prior to the removal of gold backing, think about the Swiss economy prior to 1999. Was there a problem having a gold standard? No. Why do you think the Swiss economy did so well? Why do you think Switzerland prospered more than countries like Italy or Spain or France or Greece? It’s because the Swiss politicians were disciplined by a gold standard. So you had sound money. You had limited government. You had real economic freedom, and you made progress.”
