Rosey, I dont have the whole economic piece
the Austrian School of Economics is to currency and banking what the Islamic Fundamentalists are to Islam

very fundamental in Austrian School beliefs
they believe in gold-backed currency and banking,
that our system has no right to call itself based on MONEY
our supposed MONEY is only legal tender
its backing is not with assets, but rather debts

it invites disaster every 2-3 generations
after accumulation of debts becomes large and prohibitive
and service of such debts becomes a major expense
so every 60-70 years a depression unfolds

maybe you could look around and check to find some links
use Ludwig vonMises as a name
he is their father
