"The average American is like a medieval peasant afraid to go more than a day's walk away from his village for fear of dragons."

There Might Be Dragons (the Fear of Internationalization)
There Might Be Dragons (the Fear of Internationalization)
International Man's Jeff Thomas writes an essay on addressing the concerns & issues of Americans & others living in expensive, highly indebted countries considering moving & investing abroad, out of their home countries .. ""It’s now an archaic saying, yet it’s even more applicable today than in times of yore. There are literally millions of people (particularly in the EU, the U.S. and Canada) who are fearful that their country of residence is becoming increasingly less free and less safe for themselves and their wealth. Some are looking into the prospect of internationalising themselves, but a much smaller percentage actually takes the plunge. Why should this be so? Well, as in centuries past, for many, the reason is that…there might be dragons. Of course, none of the mariners of old had actually ever seen a dragon, so each one conjured up his own image, and this is just as true today." .. Thomas dispels some of the "dragons" preventing a move.

The Great Gold Conspiracy
The manipulations of today are identical in character to gold price manipulation in Fowler’s time, only the derivatives and means of executing the trades—yes, there were many types of derivatives in Fowler’s time—have changed, but the basic idea is identical. Gold manipulation involved major speculators, banks and direct action by then U.S. Treasurer, Salmon P. Chase.
