ParticipantPrecisely what is the relationship between the gold in fort knox and the amount spent on economic and quantitative stimulus? Why does that relationship exist? Why is it important? I would propose that it is entirely artificial, that gold has no significant intrinsic value and as a monetary unit is purely a social construct. (Unlike, for instance, oil or wheat.)
Please note, I am not disputing its historical, current or future value. Only questioning why that value exists.
