About Gold for Europe

(L’Opinion, November 1, 1951)

(L’Opinion, November 1, 1951)

A book by Dr. Schacht could not go unnoticed. The one whose translation has just appeared under the title Gold for Europe is of course primarily destined for Germany. But the mechanism it suggests would be of interest to any other country of Europe.

Here is the resume:

The Paradoxes of the European “Payments Union”

(L’Opinion, December 13, 1951)

In economic matters, the most important phenomena are not always those that are talked about the most. On the contrary, those which escape public attention are often destined to play the essential role. Here is an example.

The Gold-Guaranteed Loan and Saving

(L’Opinion, June 19, 1952)

(L’Opinion, June 19, 1952)

The Pinay gold-guaranteed loan has provided occasion for a great many dissertations on the relation between saving and inflation. Saving had already given Lord Keynes and his partisans an opportunity for sophisms devoid of good sense. Notwithstanding the aridity of the subject, I would like to say a few words about it here.
