Rafi Farber on gold being the only real money

Rafi Farber is an economist who argues that gold is the only real money.

Money, in its essence, is a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account. Throughout history, it has taken various forms, but gold has consistently emerged as a preferred choice due to its inherent properties.

Gold’s history as a form of money is rich and complex, reflecting its universal acceptance and intrinsic value.

The gold standard, a monetary system in which a country’s currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold, has played a significant role in economic history. It offered a stable monetary system and fostered economic growth.

However, it wasn’t without its challenges.

Maintaining a fixed exchange rate and managing economic shocks due to fluctuations in the gold supply were among the difficulties encountered.

Over time, the gold standard was abandoned in favour of fiat currencies and flexible exchange rates. This shift was influenced by evolving economic theories and the perceived benefits of a more flexible monetary system.

Economic instability and inflation have been notable consequences of this shift.

Despite these developments, the value and importance of gold as money remain. Gold’s scarcity and universal acceptance make it an ideal form of money. A return to the gold standard could offer a solution to the economic instability and inflation that plague our current monetary system.

Such a transition would require international cooperation and careful consideration of the appropriate exchange rate between gold and national currencies.

Understanding the nature of money and the role of gold in the monetary system is crucial.
