Gold as Part of Gresham's Law for Interest Rates - Tom Fischer (interviewed)

``So, gold is in backwardation when its interest rate, which is also called the "gold lease rate", is higher than that of the Dollar. The question is now: why should the interest rate of gold be higher than that of the Dollar? In my opinion, the answer is obvious: gold is the much better currency, so, you should have to pay up to get a loan in it. I would call this a version of Gresham's Law for interest rates.''
