One of the main points I learned from this documentary, that I did not previously know, was that gold had already been tried and led to unemployment and poverty.
Also, according to Benjamin Franklin quoted in this documentary, the Revolution War was primarily a result of America wanting to print its own money. Franklin said that colonialists would have gladly paid a small tax on tea, otherwise.
The quotes from Benjamin Franklin seem to confirm this. Gold and silver had been hoarded for hundreds if not thousands of years prior. Switching to a strictly gold standard still leaves power in the hands of the very few who own most of the gold.
