Fiat currencies, on average, last about 27 years. It's been forty years since the end of the Bretton Woods agreement, so the dollar has had a pretty good run, all things considered. But it can't last forever.

On the plus side, people are finally starting to listen to Ron Paul, and Keynesian and Austrian economics are, at long last, being critically discussed in the mainstream press. Not very intelligently, for the most part, but they are being discussed.

And even Michelle Bachmann is apparently reading Human Action . So, maybe there's hope.

(I would have recommended she read Man, Economy, and State first. But I'm just gratified that a politician is actually studying economics at all.)
