[The Role and the Rule of Gold: An Argument]: A detailed dialogue between Fred Hirsch and Jacques Rueff regarding the instability of the gold-exchange standard.

He advocates for a return to the 'rule of gold' and a doubling of the gold price to facilitate the reimbursement of dollar claims, while critiquing managed credit and the Triffin plan. The discussion also touches upon the historical role of French sterling balances in the 1930s and the necessity of internal economic flexibility for successful monetary stabilization.
