Wasn’t the book written 30 years before the US left the gold standard?

You are correct, I had it remembered incorrectly. It was a commentary on money in general. The Gold Standard act was actually signed in 1900, which left silver.
it led me on a brief history of money in the US. Interesting.
Yeah I had to go back and look it up too so thank you lol it was the demonetization of silver, not gold, and I just got it confuzzled. Too many random facts floating around in my brain bin and they blend together sometimes lol
