Gold standard: Could it return in the US? 30 August 2012Last updated at 08:31 ET By Robin Banerji BBC World Service For many years, calling for "a return to the gold standard" in the United States put you in the company of economic eccentrics and the libertarian, Congressman Ron Paul.
But this week, the Republican Party agreed to set up a commission to look into fixing the gold value of the dollar. Why? The usual reason given for a return to some kind of gold standard is that gold leads to sound money. How psychopaths take over. My father was a market trader in London.

US News Page 1 of 3 | Next PageShow Entire Article Wall Street Eyes Protection Against Euro Exit Financial Times | August 06, 2012 | 12:16 AM EDT Wall Street banks are increasingly telling counterparties and borrowers to restructure contracts or find another bank as they prepare for the potential exit of a country from the eurozone.
Using hedges, such as credit default swaps, US banks have reduced their net exposure to troubled eurozone countries. The eurozone continues to be the predominant concern of US bank executives, ahead of the faltering US recovery. An analysis of regulatory filings since then shows JPMorgan Chase , Bank of America , Citigroup , Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have generally trimmed their exposure but the picture is not uniform.

Top Investor Warns of “Financial Armageddon” as Soros Dumps Bank Stocks, Buys Gold. In what analysts say is another indication that the economy will get worse in the not-too-distant future, recent filings by billionaire financier George Soros show he dumped virtually all his holdings in major financial companies like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup. His multi-billion-dollar U.S. fund also loaded up on gold, with the portfolio now holding more than $130 million worth of the precious metal. Data compiled by analysts based on Soros’ most recent 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) showed that during the last quarter, his American fund sold more than a million shares of the big financial companies with a value of almost $50 million.
During that period, Soros Fund Management also more than doubled its position in the SPDR Gold Trust to nearly 900,000 shares. Despite his far-left political agenda, Soros has a solid track record of making wise financial moves. Americans should pay attention.

Yes, absolutely. Debt in a Time of Zero. I’ve had communications from a number of people asking an interesting question relating to the debt ceiling and other issues: why does the Federal government have to borrow at all?
Why can’t it just print money to pay its bills? After all, haven’t people like me been saying that this isn’t actually inflationary? Now, it turns out that there really is a problem, or actually two problems — but they’re a bit subtle. First, as a legal matter the Federal government can’t just print money to pay its bills, with one peculiar exception. Instead, money has to be created by the Federal Reserve, which then puts it into circulation by buying Federal debt. PRAGMATIC CAPITALISMLET'S END THIS DEBT CEILING DEBATE WITH A $1 OZ. $1T COIN.
