主题：新的建议，美国没收所有外国黄金，重新返回金本位 -- foursea

In the book and the accompanying video, Rickards, a veteran investment banker and hedge fund manager, describes four different scenarios by which the dollar will lose its reserve status, which he calls the "Four Horsemen of the Dollar Apocalypse":

Faced with such upheaval, Rickards suggests the U.S. will invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1997, which gives the President "near dictatorial powers to respond to a national emergency."

In addition to seizing all foreign gold on U.S. soil, Rickards envisions the President closing the stock exchanges, suspending trading of U.S. Treasuries by foreigners and prohibiting exports of gold from the U.S., among other draconian steps.

In the aftermath, the U.S. would control about 70% of the world's gold system and all us to "reboot the system and have a new gold-backed Bretton Woods," he says. "That would be a good scenario if we got their by consent and by multilateral action...but to do it on an emergency basis in the face of a collapse in confidence in paper currencies; it would solve the problem but it would not be a good scenario."
