I hope so, and I really don't want it. I live in the USA.
The World off gold standard is a grand experiment, which
actually allowed the global currencies such as Euro or dollar
to run persistent current account deficits.
History is full of examples, and all of them ended badly.
The time span of this experiment is relatively short (37 years
since Gold convertibility of the dollar ended). Recent
history is full of currency crises. We'll see if the system
survives. If US goes into hyperinflationary death spiral, then
definitely not.
