Following his "Farewell to Congress" speech last week, Congressman Ron Paul talks to GoldMoney's Andy Duncan about the achievements and legacy of his recent presidential campaign - particularly in the context of monetary policy.

They discuss the recent re-publication of his book The Case for Gold and his forthcoming chairmanship of the Campaign for Liberty.

Paul also talks about the likelihood of America returning to some form of gold standard in the years ahead and the prospects for private currency issuance; what the next four years under President Obama are likely to hold; and the shale oil revolution.

Ron Paul also talks about the election and why Mitt Romney lost. His view is quite similar to mine, and it's one reason why I could never support Romney and instead voted for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
