Dealing with Debt 

For over a century, gold wasn’t just a symbol of wealth—it was the backbone of the U.S. dollar. From the discovery of gold in California to the creation of the Federal Reserve and the dramatic shift under President Nixon, the gold standard shaped not only how America did business, but how it saw itself on the global stage. On this edition of our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan and Daniel uncover the myths, the politics, and the economics behind one of the most influential—and controversial—chapters in monetary history: The U.S. Gold Standard.
