Gold based money, or eras of coinage, historically have been times of war and slavery. The debt system we are in now is far better in a lot of ways. The outcome of what happens depends on the political will deciding where the credit flows.

Seems like a non sequitur. What’s the causality of the gold standard leading to slavery?
