CRS: HISTORY OF THE GOLD STANDARD

HISTORY OF THE GOLD STANDARD, AND MORE FROM CRS

Congress has directed the Congressional Research Service not to make its reports directly available to the public. This policy does not make any practical sense and does not command respect inside or outside of government, but it has proven easier to work around the policy than to change it. Here are some new CRS reports obtained by Secrecy News (all pdf).
