It also analyses the responses of the world economic powers to the Depression and how new monetary policies set the stage for the watershed post-World War II system established at Bretton Woods. It offers new theories of what effect the Great Depression had on the collapse of the world monetary system, and what effect the collapse had on deepening and prolonging the Depression, by exploring the link between global economic crisis and the the gold standard (the framework for international monetary affairs until 1931). The events described had a profound effect upon twentieth-century history: the Depression abetted the rise of Hitler and the demise of the gold standard is a historical cause of inflation. 0aGold standardxHistoryy20th century. 0aPatrón oro xHistoriaysiglo 20 0aDepressionsy1929- 4aSistema monetario internacional  4aColección René Villarreal (CRV)423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0636/91026701-d.html
