Dollars to Gold

Dollars to Gold
Japanese Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki suggested last week that Japan could diversify part of its huge foreign exchange reserves from dollars into gold. But doing so rapidly would hurt the country’s export-based economy (that is, it would stop the subsidy exporters currently enjoy).

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
