• curprev 14:3014:30, 13 May 2013 TheFreeloader talk contribs 92,080 bytes +24 →Theory: Adding Bordo to claim that the gold standard caused volatile prices.
• curprev 14:2914:29, 13 May 2013 TheFreeloader talk contribs 92,056 bytes −3,050 Undo. Fringe view. Monetarists do not general favor the gold standard, and they are not of the opinion that industrialization of America was caused by the gold standard.That gold standard caused high volatility in prices is supported by other sources too.
• curprev 13:3813:38, 13 May 2013 71.174.140.32 talk 95,106 bytes +531 →Advantages: added material from the wiki article on the economic history of the United States almost identical to the material from Forbes magazine

• curprev 13:1213:12, 13 May 2013 71.174.140.32 talk 91,595 bytes −461 →Advantages: deleting reference to bogus study comparing WWI wartime inflation to present peace-time inflation. Also if Forbes is not accepted as a reliable source on business matters - how can this generic magazine be acceptable??
