Nobel Laureate Economist Robert Mundell: "The debate should be focused on what the best gold system is, not on whether we need to go back on one."

Very good news!  (emphasis mine)

"Professor Robert Mundell urges gold convertibility for the euro, the currency which he fathered, as well as for the dollar.

Even its chief proponent, Milton Friedman, acknowledged old monetarism as unsuccessful in a 2003 interview with the Financial Times.  An emerging “new monetarism” is quickly taking its place — one that focuses on the quality, not quantity, of money.
Empirical data suggest that the gold dollar represents the epitome of quality.  As Forbes’ own Steve Forbes advised the presidential candidates last week, the “debate should be focused on what the best gold system is, not on whether we need to go back on one.”
