Gold, a Barbarous Relic - Gold Bar Mug, 11oz.
From the pen of John Maynard Keynes in the 1920s to more recent opinion of Nobel Prize winner and former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, gold considered as a barbarous relic has been an expression of derision and scepticism since the devaluing of the gold standard under FDR and the removal of the gold standard under President Nixon. The study of ancient cultures offers an interesting perspective on barbarism, however, in that the barbarian, whether actually barbarous or clean shaven, is the one considered culturally "other" to the dominant culture or society writing the histories that survived. Thus, to call gold a barbarous relic is an attempt to distinguish a certain civility of the present age and culture. Absent that genuine civility, is there anything truly barbarous? Indeed there can be virtue and honor among the barbarians even though they do not move the markets and militaries.
Count on this mug not leaking your beverage like all fiat currencies leak your purchasing power!
The phrase "Gold, a Barbarous Relic for a Barbarous Age" appears with the image of gold bars or ingots.
