Nor will it control inflation, since debt-induced inflation (the root of the dollar's inflation) would be the same or worse under any currency. Gold-backed currencies in the 20's and 30's didn't save France, America, Germany, or England from inflation or economic collapse.
In the 20s they were all inflating paper money using central bank tricks. Fiat money was already established when the disasters you blame on gold took place.

That's a different problem. One that a fiat money standard hasn't solved, I mention in passing.

Price controls.

Double facepalm.

Is there any discredited crackpot economic theory you don't believe?

Fiat money is the method they used to get trillions in debt.

Under a commodity standard they would have been cut off in 1941 at the latest.
