Ok.... look, having a currency tied to a metal does bad things, If it really is a problem I am sure a nation would have brought it back. The gold standard would have given the US more power because at some point if it had stayed the us would have required all gold reserves... that doesn't sound that good does it?
My point is, that it was very good for the US.
