"Yet unknown to the general public a
very great danger is looming, the like of which has not threatened the
world since the collapse of the Western half of the Roman Empire more
than fifteen hundred years ago. This danger, should it materialize,
would mark the end of our civilization and the beginning of a new Dark
Age. I am talking about a threat of the sudden and complete collapse of
world trade. It would be heralded by permanent gold backwardation,
something that allegedly could never happen. Hard on its heels would
follow the collapse of the dollar payments system. Barter, of course,
would take place between neighboring countries, but world trade as we
know it would disappear altogether."
