With the exception of painting tips, and the watercolors of Bill Hoernel, most of the written work offered here is philosophical (and relates more to how we think, than to what we think). These efforts in establishing a sense of comprehension challenge the usual assumptions from which our thinking departs . . . as well as our modern focus upon gaining a sense of meaning and knowledge (through a method of thinking the understanding). I am an historian, and what I seek to share in these works is a more general and genuine comprehension, that may more fully embrace such central questions -- the big questions -- that we may attempt to ignore . . . but that never go away.

Mythical Money:

 The Name and Law of the House


IS GOLD MONEY?
"Although there is no longer a standard against which currencies are measured, the  US dollar has been the world's reserve currency since the Brenton Woods Convention: it, effectively, became the standard against which fiat currencies were gauged (or fixed). The reserve status of the US dollar required that all transactions in world commerce were made in the reserve currency; as a result, in order to get a dollar's worth of goods or services in any country apart from the USA a dollar's worth of goods (or of services) had to be produced. In the United States of America, however, in order to 'make' a dollar the Treasury needed but to print one. It is for this reason that the role of the USA in the world economy ceased to be that of a producer nation (and shifted to become a consumer nation). There were benefits and difficulties associated with having the reserve currency, however so long as the dollar was NOT a fiat currency (and the dollar was convertible into gold or silver) the world's monetary system made sense (so long as gold and silver reserves were safely stored). When the United States dollar ceased to be backed by, or exchangeable with) specie, the world monetary system was stable; it was also, however, limited with regard to growth . . . limited by the mass or magnitude of gold stored or available for storage. Demands for 'Third World' development, as well as for expansive growth in general, contributed to the decision make the dollar fiat (whilst allowing it to remain the 'reserve' currency . . . even if there was no longer a 'reserve' with which to support it). Until the 1960 producers in the United States still had to produce a dollar's worth of goods (as every dollar, even if a silver certificate, was equated with a weight of specie); it was after the dollar ceased to be backed that reserve status was questionable, and the role of the nation shifted toward consumption of imported goods. Parenthetically, it was also what permitted the vast expansion of the nation's indebtedness."
