What are the costs and benefits of the Gold Standard and the Federal Reserve System that is in place today?

Asked by admackbar (21points) April 30th, 2011

The Constitution states that only gold and silver should be legal tender. Creating a central bank is not authorized by the Constitution. I’m looking for benefits and problems of both the Gold Standard we used to have and the Federal Reserve or current monetary policy.
