It is the late 1800's. You are deeply in debt. Why do you prefer bimetallism (unlimited coinage of silver)? I don't want bimetallism. As a debtor, I want a strict gold standard. Because I am a traditionalist and do not want change in the economic policy. The resulting inflation will allow me to pay back my debt with money that is worth less than what I borrowed and is easier to come by. The government will offer debtors a "bail out," if inflation reaches 5% or more. Question 10
