> Nice page, but it doesn't seem to try very hard to create a framework to answer the question it asks. It ends with a Hayak quote which is interesting, even though it's taken out of context. My assumption has been this page is part of a two-part propaganda trick: the first part is to use all these charts to raise a question, the second part is to provide a oversimple but satisfying propaganda-answer (either a return to the gold standard or cryptocurrency). The second part may be meant to be an exercise for the reader (e.g. raise the question, and then prime them to search for the answer in a way that will lead them to material advocating the oversimple but satisfying propaganda-answer). The stereotypical form of propaganda (yelling an answer forcefully at your face) isn't very effective because it's obvious and elicits resistance, so actually-effective propaganda has to have a trick to disarm that response.
