American Default: The Untold Story of FDR, the Supreme Court, and the Battle over Gold

it was amazing

bookshelves: economics

Had no idea of the "gold clause" in most debt contracts. Put simply, contracts until 1934 were indented, or in other words, in real terms. This book highlights the saga of getting rid of this gold clause.
