In this podcast, Jerry Robinson of "Follow the Money Weekly" talks about the spectacular death of paper money.
Robinson is joined by co-host Jennifer Robinson to evaluate the developments in the U.S. dollar, and to explain the history of fiat currency.
They discuss how the dollar – and "practically all currencies worldwide" – are backed up by nothing but the population's faith in the government.
Also discussed is a new report about Iran accepting gold in payment for its oil, and what that could have to do with the buildup to more war in the Middle East.
