The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit...The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirade against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this , one has no difficulty in understanding the statist's antagonism toward the gold standard.
