“As the dollar continues to shed its value, and to lose credibility as the world’s reserve currency, countless people — including governments, investors, and common citizens — are looking to alternatives. These include gold and silver, which are time-honored as stores of value — but there are other candidates as well. What are some of the alternatives to the fiat dollar? Is the dollar doomed?

We’ll discuss these questions with economist and historian Jeffrey Tucker, the executive editor of Laissez Faire Books and a Distinguished Fellow for the Foundation for Economic Education.”
