How about instead of enforcing your authoritarian money model which puts all the power in the hands of financial capitalists you instead abandon the idea of caring about the interests of the financial capitalists and just let people trad with each other without requiring permission from authoritarians?

It is really quite strange that one would consider the gold standard a source of liberty. Humans aren't made out of gold. They die at some point, creating an obligation that outlasts a human life is honestly sickening and perhaps worse than slavery.




When you say "just let people trade with each other", do you mean a Government policy where payment can be made in any form of value?

Also, I don't understand why a gold standard would produce an obligation that outlasts a human life? A gold standard is seen as a source of liberty because the alternative, fiat money, gives huge amounts of power to the Government / Fed in ways that may not be good for society overall.
