It has been accepted for inclusion in Nebraska Law Review by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Christopher P. Guzelian* The Dollar’s Deadly Laws That Cause Poverty and Destroy the Environment ABSTRACT Laws associated with issuing U.S. dollars cause dire poverty and destroy the environment. American law has codified the dollar as suffi- cient for satisfying debts even over a creditor’s objection (legal tender) and as the only form of payment that typically meets federal tax obliga- tions (functional currency). The Supreme Court has upheld govern- ment bans on private possession of, or contractual repayment in, monetary alternatives to the dollar like gold or silver. Furthermore, since 1857 when the United States Congress began abandoning the sil- ver standard in practice, the dollar has gradually been trending ever greater as a “fiat money”—a debt instrument issued at the pleasure of the sovereign—and, indeed, has been a 100% debt instrument since 1971 when the United States finally, formally, and completely aban- doned gold and silver standards.

  • The Gold Standard: Historical Facts and Future Prospects
    RICHARD N. COOPER Harvard University The Gold Standard: Historical Facts and Future Prospects GOLD is a hardyperennial. It provides a psychologicaland materialsafe haven for people all aroundthe world, and its invocation still produces deep-seated visceral reactions in many. It is not surprising,then, that when economic conditionsare unfavorable,proposals to strengthenthe role of gold in the monetary system find an audience much wider than the "gold bugs" who have always seen the demise of the gold standard as the negative turningpoint in Westerncivilization. The early 1980sis one of these periods. A numberof proposals have been put forward to reinstitute some monetary role for gold, varying from window dressing to a full-fledgedrevival of the gold standard. These proposals are being treated with a seriousness that would have been astonishingtwenty, ten, or even five years ago. An officialexami- nation of the subject was undertakenby the Gold Commission, which was establishedby PresidentReagan in June 1981and issued its conten- tious report in March 1982; and several bills have been submitted to Congresswith the objective of revivinga monetaryrole for gold. I 1. Establishmentof the Gold Commissionwas not at PresidentReagan's initiative, however. He was respondingto a statutoryrequirement to study U.S. policy on the role of gold in the domestic and internationalmonetary systems. In 1980 PresidentCarter signedan act to increase U.S. quotas at the InternationalMonetary Fund, to which this requirementhad been addedas a riderby SenatorJesse Helms. With much disagreementamong its members, the Gold Commissionrecommended againstrestoration of any formalmonetary role for gold. In its one positive recommenda- tion, the majorityof the commissionfavored issuance of gold coins by the U.S.
