The US left the gold standard BECAUSE it was about to lose that status. They started printing too much money and when global markets caught a hold of that they began to say fuck the USD. By leaving the gold standard the US could continue being the top cheese even though it was inflating the USD to death. Obviously the working man has felt this effect over the years, but the government still has the entire global monetary system by the balls because "fuck you we have nukes" and of course thanks to certain relationships with natural resources exporting nations in the middle east.

Well, hey, the actual debate over what happened with the gold standard is still raging - I might get some responses to my post calling me a retard. But I think it can certainly be agreed upon by all that the USA pulled a big and not necessarily ethical power move to maintain economic world hegemony there. And of course this was at a time when the USSR was still alive and kicking. So the historical context is relevant as well. And, in the end, we can of course observe the effects by simply having a gander at the level of wealth inequality "moon mission" that has taken place in the last 30 years.

The nazi's were zionist tools and they wanted to take over the US as well. Israel considers Hitler the father of israel and would erect a statue of him to honor him if it didn't look out of place and ruin their story.


During the great depression the US Defaulted on its debt This bankrupt the nation, it was bailed out by rothschilds and they implemented Social security numbers and birth certificates to everyone afterwards. The government uses its own citizens as collateral, each citizen is worth millions to billions the government borrows under your name.

I mean, I'm not sure how you're measuring that, but I kinda think we are. Switzerland has its banking but that's about it. Norway and Saudi Arabia are dependent on pumping their oil and it's running out; a shit-tier pizza in Oslo is $50, and while we read about all the Saudi princes with fleets of Rolls Royces, their commoners aren't nearly as well-off. Dubai/UAE? Oil money again, and it's being wasted on stupid shit like indoor skiing slopes.

Gold is a giant meme. Quality of life and economic growth boom after countries drop gold standards because gold standards are extremely deflationary and stunt economic growth. You're supposed to have the money supply increase as the economy grows, but a gold standard restricts that increase in the money supply to whatever you've mined.

There are plenty of countries where people are richer per capita than America.

However, none have a nominal GDP as big as the USA.

China is set to eclipse America in terms of nominal GDP in the late 2020s, but gdp per capita won't be anywhere near Europe or the Americas.

The United States IS the richest country in the world by far. It doesn't need to back it's currency with gold because it has nukes, the world's most powerful navy, and the largest consumer market on earth and more capital than any other economy.
Also, before some 'muh fed' copypastas get in here - you can still have a low inflation to deflationary currency without the gold standard. The gold standard doesn't magically fix the problem.

>> No.16650249

Price fixing doesn't work. To maintain the price of gold at a fixed number of dollars the government would eventually go bankrupt trying or have to just give up. That's what happened in the 70s, they just gave up because it wasn't worth it. Price fixing only makes a nation less wealthy in real terms.

"America is rich" is such a stupid fucking meme used by braindead circumsized mutts to rationalize to themselves having a quality of life and roads equivalent to that of a developing nation. Yes, the country is incredibly wealthy, the GDP is #1, there are lots of natural resources AND banking/service infrastructure. But the people still live like pigs in shit. You can't quantify shit like, the average American has never even seen a fucking play or doesn't even have a god damn passport. And because of the latter they also cannot SEE that they live in shit because they have never been to civilized European cities, and I won't even mention some Asian cities that make the US infrastructure look like an abandoned civilization lol. When I see an average working-poor American tell me he is a part of the richest country in the world, I just feel bad for them. Ignorance really is bliss. I love this country I really do, but its basically a walking zombie at this point.
