Description
Do we need to--and can we--revive the gold standard? Mr. Lehrman's case is
not airtight (as the questioning reveals), but it is exuberant. Examiner* Mark Green: "Do you trust the Reds more than the Feds?" LL: "That's a rather nice way to put it." WFB: "I'd say it's close." LL: "My belief is we certainly shouldn't trust the Reds and there's no need for us to trust the Feds. I think working people themselves know how to manage their monetary affairs and they don't need seven members of a guardian elite in Washington to tell them how much money they should hold."
