Never forgetting the gold standard, that was just scandalous, against their own folk and allies. Not even against enemies, opinion or whatever geopolitical thing... not much margin here for flexible moral. They just do with us whatever they want, and forcing inflation onto the population is just as closed as evil an economy can be against the general interest of the whole population.
This is an ideological position. In reality, economies need money printing, although it comes with its own problems, must be carefully controlled, and since 1971 we have not yet learned the correct way to control it.
