I’m not convinced that tying to gold would fix it looking at the history of gold and money. As Aristotle noted it is an “Money exists not by nature,
but by law.” I think the issue is the private control of the money system which should be under public control, something that has eluded us for over 240 years, ever ever since Hamilton handed the monetary authority over to a private bank.
