Ellen Brown is not a very good representative of monetary reform. Her knowledge is limited. Zarlenga is a little more intelligent and I'd like to hear his rebuttal.

ssg263, I've read some of Zarlenga's stuff...

It's just embarrassing in my opinion. His logical fallacies are so juvenile.
I'll give you an example. He says that money must be a creation of the State because that's how it happened in the past.

That's the old fallacy of: "X happened this way in the past therefore it must always happen this way in the future". Furthermore, he's wrong on his history. There have been numerous instances in the past where money was not created by the State!

Zarlenga and the Austrians have more in common than people think. They both would legalize gold as a free market tool to be traded without government restriction.

Therefore, if the fiat money really is so bad, people will just gravitate to gold.

But the thing with Zarlenga is that he

wouldn't repeal the legal-tenders laws on the government currency. Zarlenga would give the politicians' currency a huge advantage over free-market money...
