"Altering the fraction in such a way would cause the value of Gold to rise" WHAT fraction? There IS no fraction
"..and then crash upon its value becoming inflated, resulting in an economic collapse."
You can't inflate somethings 'value' because that's subjective and people's opinions don't 'crash' when real gold backs the thing opinioned on. Unlike paper.
When "money circulating cant meet the demand upon it", i assume it meets this demand by going up in value, which in essence creates more money. This is why instead of PRINTING a shitload more, we should just let it sit.
The other problem with gold is that as a commodity the amount of gold moving effects the currency. A large injection of gold into the market would inflate the currency and reduction of gold production would rapidly deflate it.
While the idea is in the right place it would be much better to use fiat money and have targets to prevent rapid inflation and control the money supply better.
the flight of gold from the US was the result of fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve printing far more paper tickets than gold existed to back them.
Don't blame sound economics for the collapses brought on by crooks at the central bank.
This encourages -real- capitalism.
