October 30, 2008

When the idea of 100% backing is first introduced to some people they are of the impression that it would lead to a dearth of investment funds. They imagine that all this cash would stay locked in the vaults and could not be lent out, and that therefore the resources left for investment would be [...]

“If the Japanese don’t stop the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the major currencies we could be days away from a crash of 20+% across the globe.
