Very interesting. Happy anniversary CLAD.
Good article but conveniently omits the death of JFK who opposed the Coinage Act and the ensuing oil boycott and "shortage" due "lack of supply"
Just sayin'

Another nail in the coffin of JFK I would suspect, Dusty. He had a lot of great ideas and they killed him for it.
Also:
Writing in 1966 to the contrary, Rickenbaker concluded his book with this thought: “For the first time since 1792, we are on a money backed by nothing better that the politician’s pledge. The stage is set for the final inflationary blow-off if that is what our money managers desire.” Knowing as we do now about the Great Inflation of the 1970s, that was an outstandingly good prediction.
And of course, "We ain't seen nothing yet!" IMHO
