So, we've been putting off a kind of basic question here. What is money? What is currency? How are the two different. Well, not to give away too much, but money has a few basic functions. It acts as a store of value, a medium of exchange, and as a unit of account. Money isn't just bills and coins. It can be anything that meets these three criteria. In US prisons, apparently, pouches of Mackerel are currency. Yes, mackerel the fish. Paper and coins work as money because they're backed by the government, which is an advantage over mackerel. So, once you've got money, you need finance. We'll talk about borrowing, lending, interest, and stocks and bonds. Also, this episode features a giant zucchini, which Adriene grew in her garden. So that's cool. Special thanks to Dave Hunt for permission to use his PiPhone video. this guy really did make an artisanal smartphone!

And I agree the gold standard is unlikely to return, but the reason for that is self interest. Incentive, as you so rightly put it. Politicians and bankers don-t want to enact a gold standard because politicians and bankers don-t want restrictions on how much they can spend and how much money they can print without end. It is in their own self interest to keep the gold standard, which would enforce fiscal responsibility, extinct.

Gold standard kept central banks and sovereign governments from unbridled spending. Debt skyrocketed as soon as the gold standard was ended in the 70-s. Currencies are now subject to inflation. This is why owning gold is so important, and it-s why central banks worldwide store thousands of tons of gold and even now are buying more gold for their reserves. As JP Morgan said, -gold is money, everything else is credit-.
