[QUOTE="aWriter, post: 1252303, member: 32798"][b]Economics and Politicians[/b] Thanks, Cloudsweeper. The WSJ had some words on Lord Keynes recently. I had to laugh at the notion that, whatever they learned about economics, policymakers would do the wrong thing. I'm afraid I see it that way, too. In coming up with a better form or sort of gov't than we use now, I can only imagine constitutional limits on just what elected pols can do, highly delimited limits, "hot stove" limits. That is, go outside the limits and the pols get their hands burnt. Not literally. Fined, perhaps. Lose their jobs. This is CoinTalk. And started with words about gold buying. A gold standard would be a limit, certainly. But many think a gold standard is problematic. Maybe the problems can be solved.;)[/QUOTE]
