The first and most important element of open trade is to restore real currencies, which can include any commodity of genuine value that people agree on using, whether on a local scale, over a wider area or even globally. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that wherever people have had the freedom to make this choice, they have most often chosen gold and silver, and so the importance of gold and silver coinage for open trade is considerable. There are many historical examples that show that gold has suffered no inflation at all in two millennia, as we saw in the essay by Dr Dahinden. This will prove very significant for people tired of seeing their wealth silently eaten away by the deteriorating effects of inflation. This will prove doubly significant for people who simply cannot understand how billions and trillions can be wiped off the stock market overnight and vanish.
