A gold standard is terrible monetary policy, even worse than the status quo.

Good monetary policy would be the fed doing NGDP level targeting a la Scott Sumner: https://www.mercatus.org/system/files/NGDP_Sumner_v-10%20cop...

Monetary policy only goes so far though, if you actually want to distribute resources in an equitable way, you probably also need good tax policy.

Good tax policy would be taxes which decrease wealth inequality (e.g. luxury consumption taxes, land value taxes).

I don't think the Mercatus Center is the best place to look for good or sincere ideas on how to distribute resources in an equitable way
