If all debts must be paid - in gold - what happens if the price of gold drops? (REAL libertarians don't use money - they barter!) -- Col. G. L. Sicherman ...seismo!rochester!rocksanne!rocksvax!sunybcs!gloria!colonel /* ---------- */ If you don't have money - or better yet, if the money is really backed by gold, how can the "price" of gold drop? BTW - REAL libertarians may not use money, but we will accept promisary notes from sufficiently trustworthy people. Now, if somebody is *so* trustworthy that everybody will accept their promisary notes in trade, could you explain how that is different from money?
