UpThinking Finance on The Not-So-Great Reset with Michael Rectenwald
When the United States moved off of the gold standard in 1971, it allowed the government to print as much money as it wanted. When gold was the standard, they could only issue as much money as they had gold or assets to back it. It affixed a value. We operate on a fiat money system now, which means the market forces dictate the value of the currency. Those values can be easily manipulated. A day of reckoning will be coming.
