Patrick Barron – Global Gold Money to Return? | Libertarianism.UK Podcast

Today, we spoke with Patrick Barron, an economic commentator and Mises.Org author, as well as formerly being a professor of economics at the University of Iowa. We talked about the recently reported stories concerning discussions between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin about a new international trading settlements system based upon gold as the underlying security asset. As well as Patrick's own articles on this subject at Mises.org, we also referenced related research articles by Alasdair Macleod of Goldmoney.Com. Patrick also spoke about the work of Sergey Glazyev, Vladimir Putin's senior economics advisor, who has been working officially on a new trade settlement currency for use between members of the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) and all members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), as well as the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Between them, EAEU, SCO, and BRICS represent over half of the world's current population, so Glazyev's proposed trade settlement currency could become a real working global gold money within the next few years, pitting itself firmly against the US dollar as the world's reserve trading currency.
