Zimbabwe has unveiled a groundbreaking digital currency called 'Zimbabwe Gold' (ZiG), backed by gold in milligrams.

Vance Backs Trump on Fed Influence

Senator JD Vance, R-Ohio, who is former President Trump's vice presidential nominee, expressed support for Trump's idea that U.S. presidents should have a say in the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions, including interest rate changes.
In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Vance agreed with Trump, arguing that such decisions should involve America's elected leaders and not be left solely to the independent Federal Reserve.
Vance acknowledged that this would mark a significant shift from the traditional approach, where the Fed operates independently of political influence, but emphasized that Trump is advocating for greater political input, not direct control, over monetary policy.

Judy Shelton is Right About the Gold Standard

Economist Peter Schiff expected that gold will resume its role in the global monetary system, that is, the countries of the world will return to the gold standard, and this is not strange in light of the economic crisis the world is witnessing.
It is simply false to claim that the gold standard was a source of perpetual economic chaos, and that we are better off today without it. All things considered, the gold standard is "superior in some respects and no worse in others." Rather than a "barbarous relic," as John Maynard Keynes famously called it, the gold standard is an instrument for economic harmony and civilized commercial relations.
