Nathan Lewis - Is the Gold Standard Our Salvation? #4016

Noted author, fund manager and economist Nathan Lewis joined the show for the first time. He's written a number of books about how a gold standard can successfully be re-implemented. He believes that for right now, the dollar's value is acting as if it were backed by gold. It's been relatively stable for years. Can it continue down this path indefinitely into the future? There's really no way to know, but many naysayers have long predicted the dollar's death and so far they've been completely wrong.
