Gold, the Brains Trust, and Roosevelt
重新审视1933年美国放弃金本位前的时期，考察是否存在预先计划，发现罗斯福及其智囊团在1932年竞选期间对黄金和美元并无强烈主张，仅将货币实验视为低优先级选项。
In this article I revisit the period leading to the abandonment of the gold standard by the US government in 1933, and I investigate whether there was a preconceived plan to take the country off gold. My conclusion is that in 1932, during the primary and presidential campaigns, neither Roosevelt nor his influential inner circle, a group known as the Brains Trust, had very strong views on gold or the dollar. They did believe in the need to experiment, and tinkering with the currency was a possible area for experimentation, but it was an option with a low priority.
