40年前的8月,后来到中国推动建交的美国总统尼克松,先干了一件震惊世界的大事:宣布结束美元的金本位,开启了法定货币时代和终结布雷顿森林体系。可以说,自那以后,所有货币都变成了政治货币,而非具有真实价值的货币。结果是40年来,美元的价值从35美元兑换1盎司黄金贬值到1750美元兑换1盎司黄金。 In August 40 years ago, U.S. President Nixon, who later came to China to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations, did a major shock to the world by announcing the end of the gold standard of the U.S. dollar, opening the legal currency era and ending the Bretton Woods institutions. It can be said that since then, all the currencies have become the political currency, not the real value of the currency. The result is that for 40 years, the value of the dollar has fallen from 35 U.S. dollars to 1 ounce gold to 1,750 U.S. dollars to 1 ounce gold.
