Summary: Right-wing libertarian think-tank says abandoning the gold standard and moving to "fiat currency" caused all the economic problems we're seeing now, and use some graphs to "prove" it started in 1971 when Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold.

Article cites Thorsten Polleit of the Mises Institute as evidence, and of course invokes Libertarian Saint Murray Rothbard. Author is right-winger Jon Miltimore.
