Gold Standard

[nuj]

How large are the Irish Government's gold reserves?

Valued at €121m according to end-Dec CB stats.

You know for someone who started a thread to bash loony-libertarian-Randroids, you seem very unwilling, or unable, to answer the criticisms that have come your way.

Did you wash your hands?

I was curious, which is why I started the thread. I'm not curious any more. You yourself seem to like the cut-and-paste of debate, using your beloved Austrian school types. The most elevated of their adherents, Alan Greenspan, has been exposed , in his own admission, as a befuddled failure.

Last time I checked Greenspan was a monetarist, not an Austrian. Who knows what he's calling himself now.

Perhaps you might educate yourself further before criticising something you obviously have no idea about.

I should never have claimed Greenspan was an Austrian. Though I didn't.
