Your
you're
saying that a gold standard guarantees no business cycle. So, because there was the Great Depression proves that there was no gold standard.
Your hypothesis: A gold standard guarantees no business cycle.
Your facts: There was a business cycle.
Conclusion: There was no gold standard.
The problem is that you haven't proven that "A gold standard guarantees no business cycle." You are assuming that a gold standard guarantees no business cycle.
Here is what I am saying;
My hypothesis: There was a gold standard
Fact: The price of gold was pegged to the dollar
Conclusion: There was a gold standard.
Second hypothesis
My hypothesis: A gold standard guarantees no business cycles
Fact: There was a gold standard and there was a Great Depression
Conclusion: A gold standard doesn't guarantee no business cycles
See what I did? I proved that 1) there was a gold standard then 2) that it doesn't guarantee no business cycles.
See how that works or is that too complicated for you?
who's talking about a business cycle?? PLease stick to one subject at a time.
