This book explains what the gold standard is and how it assured long-term price stability. Readers will learn why the standard broke down during World War I and why America stopped using it—and how it has affected our economy ever since. Detailed but uncomplicated language, in both the narrative and sidebars, explain financial concepts in an engaging way.
