We should fix magnets to other ferrous metals? That's what I say!
Not that I fully understood this business about Gold and Silver and now I want to look intelligent. I kind of understand your logic but the whole stock exchange is like a house of cards or kerrplunk you mess with one bit and the rest falls down. I blame it on Capitalism and the attaching of value to objects when in fact real currency is the currency of labour (not the party, but the workers).
This crash was inevitable as soon as Thatcher started to dismantle Manufacturing Industry in order to artificially boost Finance Industry. Now the worth of things is measured by brokers and bankers and not by their intrinsic value to the population.

You're not far wrong there. Inflationary spending to stimulate an economy is
a doomed theory. Thatcher, among others in the 80's, fucked it hard. Much
as they did when this story was written. The seeds of the 1920's and all that.

which in turned lead to so much misery and the rise of extremism in politics. Dare I say we appear to be heading down that bleak path once again... let's hope not.

It sort of cascaded from the end of WWI. Most of the
economies of the the world were not versed in an
industrial society. And had more people than things
for them to do. Farming and resource based systems
that could not absorb the populations that they had,
they attracted hordes to the urban centers to make
weapons and supplies. Then, wished they'd just fade
back into "wherever" they came from. Which did not
really exist. As by then they'd grown up there.
