Does it matter for the conclusion to be reached by this person's article if Churchill admitted or not

You seem to think this was some article out of Foreign Affairs, or Nation Journal, don't you?

However, biographer William Manchester wrote THREE massive tomes dedicated to the life of Winston Churchill.

Now I only retyped one specific paragraph related to Churchill's regret about returning to the gold standard. The pages previous to that quote dealt with the tremendous unemployment and poverty that were created by returning to the gold standard.

And Churchill was no brilliant economist, but relied on the advice and guidance of his advisors. They advised tight money and the pre-WWI gold standard and he bore the political heat from his people, who were bearing the economic fallout from economic disjunctions.

And in the end, it was one of the major issues that led to his early political exile throughout the 1930's.

a.k.a. fooldish you ron
once again you make of yourself.


And what the hell is this, some form of "yoda-speak"?
