What does a person do...when American dollars are devaluing at ~8% per year, when stock indices are melting lower, when Crypto is rattling sideways and when commodities (the one sector no one understands) are going parabolic. The answer, by way of mental paralysis, is nothing right now. So we take an opportunity to zoom out and explore two topics that might instruct us on future events (or not):

1) How World War II affected the stock market of both America and Germany.

2) The End of the Gold Standard in 1971.
