Hello Stackers, Check out the PDF 8 page document below ** First paragraph cut & paste to give you a taste ** The context I will start my talk with an allegation. You have gathered here for a specific reason. You have come because the gold standard was given up in 1914 at the beginning of World War I. Looking at the program, I see that all of the topics with which we are going to deal are in some way related to that event. World history proves that there is a close relationship between monetary systems and war and peace. It is also evident that there is a close relationship between monetary systems and ethics and morals. Unfortunately, it is not widely known that the 19th century was a period of prosperity and economic growth without inflation. It strikes us like a fairytale when we discover that in those days the most important currencies in the world were stable over a long period. The French franc, for example, remained solid for one hundred years. It was the era of the gold standard.
