User Clip: Tony Blair Stumped by Call for a New Bretton Woods International Monetary Agreement?

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, asked from the audience by Karl Golovin (www.KarlGolovin.com) whether restoring an honest monetary unit of account in local economies around the world (a function historically well-served by gold and silver coin money) - as through a New Bretton Woods International Monetary Agreement - might help bring prosperity everywhere through renewed appreciation for a kind of money that will coalesce and circulate within communities (not just as centered from, around sources of, or in places specifically anointed by controllers of central bank credit-money); Prime Minister Blair acted as if entirely stumped, very pleasantly referenced the benefit of being out of office as precluding the necessity of having an answer - and simply never responded to the question! As the clip ends, moderator Judy Woodruff suggests the question could be re-framed, prompting a brief facial expression of consternation from former Prime Minister Blair. close
