Real problems with trade wars

The problem I see is with this oversimplified view of world politics. Your gold mine paper stocks will not have the bullion to back it up at 35k an oz.Either we go all the way to the gold standard world wide or nothing.How many people actually own gold silver,platinum or palladium? Where would this put them.Where would it put Saudi arabia and China who have more bullion than the rest of the world combined.I see a total barter system as a better alternative.The tax collectors running like wounded pigs is a pleasant thought.Just the thought of a world economy with a common dollar,peso,whatever scares me.Look at the way the U.N. votes against America and I would not feel secure in their impotent hands.Everything U.N. has been or is corrupt graft sucking rapists,and I'll take my chances with isolation before I let them have control of one aspect of my life.We are the only major power in the world that have the natural resources,manufacturing technology,agriculture resources enough to feed the world if we stopped paying farmers not to grow crops.It would be a complex and hurtful transition for a decade or so,but it beats the unidollar.
