Debates on Silver Value and International Bimetallism
The author argues increased debt requires higher taxes and burdens the populace. He warns that restoring a 16 to 1 gold to silver ratio could spike silver value to 120 dollars an ounce, enabling silver-using countries to buy U.S. products with silver.
