No fiat money and all wars would end quickly. Far too expensive for normal people to tolerate. Ridiculous... History is FILLED with examples where wars were fought over the control of valuable natural resources, ESPECIALLY GOLD. In fact, had it not been for the discovery of gold and silver in the Americas, it's quite likely the Spanish would have shown little interest in conquering the Aztecs and Incas. That lust for gold, which equated to a natural resource "jackpot" was the primary motivator for any number of conquests over the eons. Now we just do it over oil. And soon we may do it over Lithium.. ;0) Hawk
