Ron, i personally (and i think Greenjeans would agree with that) think a return to an outright gold standard would be impractical. however, i would advocate that some middle ground be found between today's more or less pure fiat system and a monetary system backed with hard assets.
money supply growth has been completely out of control for well over a decade now (with no signs of slowing down btw. -broad money measures M3 and MZM have re-accelerated once more), creating an enormous credit bubble and the ancillary bubble in stocks and real estate.
this is not a healthy development - and the fact that there are no curbs on money supply growth needs to be seriously re-examined by policy makers imo.
however, it will likely take a bursting of the bubble to induce them to do so.

regards,

hb
