Now that the party’s over, bankers make a move on gold
by William Engdahl
On the eve of the International Monetary Fund’s annual meeting, 15 European central bankers announced that they were putting a cap on gold sales, thereby asserting that gold’s role as a crucial component of monetary affairs, must be preserved—as the world financial system careens toward a crash. The action goes against the policies of Britain’s Tony Blair, and creates an opening for sanity: the creation of a New Bretton Woods System, such as Lyndon LaRouche has advocated.
