Adding to the discussion we had today in class about the Gold Standard and Ideology, I found an interesting blog post which is a contemporary address to the movement that it would be a good idea to reintroduce the Gold Standard.
I thought it was especially interesting that the author ends his post with a quote from Samuel Johnson about marriage, and relating that, specifically the notion of a failed marriage, to the idiocy of reintroducing the Gold Standard. There it is! Marriage as a traditionally viewed rock solid social institution, and the Gold Standard as something constant that we can put our faith into! We talked about marriage with Roxana, and we will discuss it revolving around ideology, the Gold Standard and Emma. How perfect is that?!
