The Gold Standard

I was talking to my friend the other day about how much I love the gold standard and how I wish we still had a similar precious-material-based monetary system in the U.S.

She looked at me and said, “I thought we were on the gold standard.”

Well, we are not. The following short video explains the basics of the gold standard and compares it to the modern system ruled by the federal reserve.

Let us know: Are you pro or con the gold standard? Explain why.

Do you know who I am?

The following video has been around for a long time, but I thought I’d share it anyway. It tells a lot about large universities and the level of individuality professors see among students.

I go to one of the largest universities in the U.S. and am sure that only a minority of my professors know who I am. Noteworthy, however, is that I always seem to get better grades in the classes which professors know my name.

Moral of the story: Unless you are going to try to attempt what was done in the video, make friends with your professors because you will get a higher grade.
