Greetings Mr. Pearson,

There is a very interesting book put out in 1994 which examines the
chaotic state of our international financial systems and adds a lot of
weight to the argument of gold standard.
"Money Meltdown" by Judy Shelton

There is another one out that very carefully introduces the unknowing
individual to Megabyte electronic money.
"The Death of Money" by Joel Kurtzman

Then of course there's the new book out in 1997 which examines the best
way to survive the collapse of the welfare state.
"The Sovereign Individual"
by James Davidson and Lord Rees-Mogg

There are many more....
They offer better reading then what I could put down here....
I've read them....but do *not* agree with much of what they offer.
But they do have value as sounding boards.

So far the international monetary systems in place have worked remarkably well.
Not *all* but many diverse populations have benefited from the increase in
trade and liquidity these systems have brought.
They have also created imbalances and 'Kleptocracies'......
A human condition.

One clear example of these imbalances in this country has been the discarding
of the nations small farming families. Their life sytles and heritage
has been thrown-out by powerful forces of agri-business that benefit the
most from electronic technology. (I've just been reading about the problems
in Minnesota brought on by the reversal of crop subsidises).
The system is discarding them as irrelevant.

Anyway......despite what these books point-out, there is *nothing* that
indicates the established monetary conditions of the world are going to
change any time soon or should be changed....

The internet (as shown through SI) is one the most democratic and equalising
power bases ever developed. Information here is astonishing.
Unless someone turns off the electricity......
