[A-List] the truth about gold

["ewc" <ewc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pasted to todays a-list I find

Emeritus Professor of Economics Sennholz

eulogises about

"the pivotal role that gold played
throughout the ages"

I note that he does so with the assistance of the Mises Institute
whose aims state:

"It is the mission of the Mises Institute to ................encourage
a revival of critical historical research"

In line with this philosophy, I would be grateful if he could tell me
what ages he is talking about? On what planet?  (Gold has only rarely
been the monetary standard on Earth for the last 2,500 years).
