100% Money

Consulting Editor James Tobin

In the autumn of 1933, Fisher had applauded Franklin D. Roosevelt’s attempts to “reflate” the economy by raising the price of gold. He was dismayed, however, when the President called a halt to the gold purchase program at the end of January 1934. In Fisher’s judgment, the necessary task of “reflation” had been only partially done. (See the documentation of Fisher-Roosevelt correspondence for this period collected in Volume 14.) Additional monetary interventions were thus in order.
