President Richard Nixonâs actions in 1971 to end dollar convertibility to gold and implement wage/price controls were intended to address the international dilemma of a looming gold run and the domestic problem of inflation.
He didn't. Technically yes, but for all practical purposes the process of moving to a fiat currency started in the 1910's and moved somewhat steadily forward. F.D. Roosevelt took much greater action to end the gold standard than did Nixon when Roosevelt let the dollar float in 1933 to combat the shrunken monetary supply during the depression. The Bretton Woods system created in 1944 pegging other currencies to the dollar further assured the eventual termination of the gold standard.
