Yep.
The chart showing the loss of US dollar purchasing power was not what I expected. Previously, I've come across statements indicating prices were pretty consistent throughout the 1800s (Greenspan) and that the decline of the dollar stems from the creation of the Fed in 1913 (the Austrians). This chart shows that there were considerable moves in the purchasing power of the dollar prior to 1913 and the consistent downward spiral occured sometime around WWII. I would have thought the US victory in WWII would have generated a strong dollar. Or maybe because this chart is related to purchasing power and not foreign currencies, it is an incomplete picture of what's happening to the greenback. ?
