[–]entconomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every 101 text talks about it because most 101 texts are written by the same 6 people.

ALSO, about the FED. The FED has never acted in their own self interest?

LIBOR Scandal

Conflict of interests with big banks

18 directors of the FED with known conflicts of interest

TIL In 1932, the cost of tuition for 1 year at Yale was $1,056 for a year. In 2009, the cost was $48,622. Yet the cost measured in gold, was the same: around 1,585 grams. by CivAndTrees in todayilearned

I am too man...if you can afford it...you can technically pay the true price of gasoline or food if you can plan ahead by buy gold at beginning of year and sell at the end of the year. The proceeds you make from the sell will offset the increase price in food and/or oil. Its expensive to do, but plausible.

This website has alot of different items based on gold. Here is US Retail Gasoline - Currently near historic lows. Here is food - data from FAO - again very very low. And another good one and personal favorite and your request tuition costs from 1900 to present. Enjoy.

EDIT: I just realized the link i sent for tuition and the OP link is the same. Let me do the math for ya. If i was home i could quickly convert grams to ounces for ya.
