Was dropping the gold standard a mistake?

WAS DROPPING THE GOLD STANDARD A MISTAKE?

Gold is up. Inflation. People are worried about the value of paper money. Once upon a time a few decades ago, there was a thing called the gold standard: a promise. If you had a dollar, you could take it to the government any time you want, and trade it in for a fixed amount of gold. In today's episode, we will see why it was dropped, its pros, and cons.
