Coinflation Articles - A good one..

tneig

I used coinflation a lot 6 months ago when I started collecting and investing in PMs and coins. I still go there everyday for their articles and to refresh about the melt values.

They have a really good, long, but really good article about the history of the US dollar, and its interactions with the world currency. I recommend it, even if you don't finish it all.

EagleEye

This is total revisionism! This writer took history and turned it around to his own twisted point of view. If you pick any paragraph, I can point out some major historical and economic error. Go ahead. Pick one!

In fact, the writer even says as much: The purpose of narrative, after all, is to simplify the complex and, over time, to remake the past in today’s terms.

I read a good portion of it last night and thought it was pretty good. Whether someone thinks it is revisionism depends on the facts, and I didn't notice an abundance of facts but I didn't see it as a political statement either. It read like a general overview of economic history at first read but I'll have to finish it tonight to see if I can figure out what got EagleEye so riled.

I'd be interested in Rick's interpretations as a basis for analysis and further discussion.

I didn't say it was a politically pointed write-up, although it might be. It distorts historical fact in many instances, nearly every paragraph has errors or omissions of error. I'll be happy to go into it when I have time.

If you get your information from unreliable sources, how can you expect to make reliable decisions.

Why should it be different from any other blog or newsletter?

Good Read...

If I am to understand, according to this the only thing holding our economy up at present is the fact that we are in two wars, oh yea and the whole printing press.

Didn't the president just come out about ending one soon...
