Posted Thu 25 Nov 2010 07:31What about Oil... This is not rising , due to alternative fuels , biodiesel corn oil etc...
So we can establish the trend that USA UK EU Australia are tied to petrol based technology , and their economies will be static , not developing further , as their economies deflate - associated with pension based financing and necessary QE,.. printing cash etc..and declining populations.
China is set to develop further , if it obtains more Gold, and develops technologies supported by a real currency.
What should Australia do. Collect tax and convert it to Gold.
and Nothing else, similar to what John Howard did really, but this time , keep the value in Gold as USand EU , fall away and deflate. With this approach Australia has a chance to have an economy that is aligned with China's developing and stronger population able to dig for Gold, and develop new technologies and maintain a larger productive population.
This is becoming a population/tech/econ. scenario
