“In a globalist, technocratic society, civil society arises as a kind of negotiation between the demands of the state and the desires of its citizens. But in reality this is an entirely unequal discussion, as the state intends to impose its demands by force. What Credit Suisse and other firms are missing, however, is that the current arrangement is an unstable one that arrogates more and more power over time to the state. If citizens in various repressive states are hoarding gold, it is because they don’t trust government-run currencies. Perhaps they hoard gold as well because taxes are continually rising and because price inflation is out of control.”
