<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 89345, member: 1910&quot;]I&#039;m not so sure about <i>any</i> country going on the gold standard being able to set that off.&nbsp; Sure, South Korea or Russia or China, definitely.&nbsp; Medium-sized economic powers like Chile or South Africa, probably.&nbsp; But imagine, if you will, Belize going on the gold standard.&nbsp; I doubt that would send major shockwaves through the world economy.&nbsp; Venezuela (or more correctly, Hugo Chavez) is peeved at the US right now.&nbsp; If Chavez thought he could &quot;pluck the eagle&#039;s feathers&quot; by going on the gold standard, he would do it, I think.&nbsp; Yet he (or any other nation upset at the USA - and there are a lot of them - that&#039;s not on the take from the IMF) hasn&#039;t done it yet.&nbsp; Why?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
