Price controls, wage controls, dropping the gold standard.

The gold standard was already no longer solid. At least as early as FDR the dollars for each ounce of gold was being changed, and in other ways it was falling apart by the late sixties. In any case I'm not a fan of the gold standard.

But the wage and price controls... I'm with you on that one. Awful, awful policy...
