Although I am interested in new concepts, this is probably one of the least thoughtful concepts I read in the last few months besides the alphabet soup of government stimulus. A proposal which failed not once but twice in history; and if we put aside the historical failures of the gold standard, then this proposal utterly lacks neutrality (if not for Russia with its gold ore then for a proposal to tie it to commodities). Any concept of tying money to a subset of good or services directly contradicts the idea of money. It only works if it is freely exchangeable into any good or service where a market exists.
