However, if mainstream economists (on both the left and the right) have anything to say about it, there will never be a return to "that barbarous relic," as John Maynard Keynes called gold over 60 years ago (Edwards, 2008). Even so, defenders of the gold standard include such former presidential candidates as Jack Kemp and Stephen Forbes. Furthermore, the rise of well-funded, right-wing think tanks in the last few decades has managed to resurrect the issue. In Foreign exchange market this is also called as currency or forex market. It is the largest financial market in the world which includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, corporations, governments, and other financial institutions. The main function is to earn revenues and control the monetary system. <br> The reason why the far right opposes the current money system is because the government to control the size of the money supply. They argue that an unscrupulous government might pay its bills by printing more money, which would cause inflation. They also argue that shrinking the money supply allows the government to create recessions. Under a gold standard, the total value of money would be fixed (or nearly so), and the market would adjust itself efficiently around it.

A fixed exchange rate would have caused major problems at this time as some countries would be uncompetitive given their inflation rate.
