Readers here know that we have featured articles by former IMF Chief of Operations (SDR) Dr. Warren Coats. Dr. Coats has decades of experience related to the issues we cover here and has also been kind to donate some of his time to help add information to this blog (like this interview he did here last year).
Right now there are no major events taking place leading to the kind of major monetary system change we watch for here. I do want to try and continue to produce a few articles for the readers who continue to visit here regularly while we wait to see how things unfold.
Here we have a recent blog article by Dr. Coats where he lays out his vision for a political platform for 2017. I thought it had several interesting ideas and his section on monetary policy of course directly ties in to what we cover here. Below I have excerpted his section on monetary policy (bold emphasis is mine). Below that are a few added comments.

Monetary and Financial Policies
Added note: Dr. Coats furnished me this link to another thought provoking article he had written earlier which is now published at the Cayman Financial Review.
