Porc,

>Sometimes taking from the rich can make the poor better off. But,
sometimes it just makes the poor even poorer. Shrinking the money supply
seems like it would have to result in the latter.<<

I've seen some reasonable methods for the conversion process. It's not something I've given a lot of thought to because it still seems too impossible. It would be a matter of defining the price of gold in terms of the amount of paper money outstanding. No decrease in money supply. Then we would function fine. Prices of goods, services and wages would need to be flexible afterwards.
