Panel Discussion: History of the Gold Standard

[W. Branstetter]

The New York Historical Society hosted in May 2012 a panel discussion of "History of the Gold Standard."  This video is archived at C-span.org and might be helpful for some information and thoughts on the topic of the gold standard.  The panelists have either authored books or suggest references on the subject and this may be a helpful "introduction."

One gentleman seemed to be comparing the implementation of Marxism to that of the gold standard as seemingly unsuccessful.  Think I might have to go back and listen to this one again.
