"It's just an illusion," a wide-eyed Bernanke added as he removed bills from his wallet and slowly spread them out before him. "Just look at it: Meaningless pieces of paper with numbers printed on them. Worthless."

This is almost unbelievable.

You want unbelievable, try reading "The Lords of Finance" about the 1920s bankers who defended the gold standard to their deaths. Literally.

If that book is any indication then Bernanke appears to be one of the few who's actually learned from history instead of repeating it.
