This is highly recommended basic understanding of the monetary system history and basic plumbing (money flows and creation), even if you do NOT believe it's the jews (yes, it is a sub-section of jews specifically).
If you don't understand money, you'll end up slave to it - which is exactly the purpose.
For a more detailed understanding of monetary mechanics, read Richard Werner and Steve Keen.
One of the main points I learned from this documentary, that I did not previously know, was that gold had already been tried and led to unemployment and poverty.
Also, according to Benjamin Franklin quoted in this documentary, the Revolution War was primarily a result of America wanting to print its own money. Franklin said that colonialists would have gladly paid a small tax on tea, otherwise.
The quotes from Benjamin Franklin seem to confirm this. Gold and silver had been hoarded for hundreds if not thousands of years prior. Switching to a strictly gold standard still leaves power in the hands of the very few who own most of the gold.

Yeah, hard gold standard can also be extremely deflationary (see 18th and 19th hundred periods, esp. 1920s in France).
And gold standard doesn't protect from corruption/evil of politicians and money-lenders - they will just forge the gold (this is what "debasing the currency" originally meant: cutting gold coins with lead and covering with gold, when countries started running out of gold).
This is also, what BTC clumsily claims to solve, but creates a huge set of other problems on the side (and due to ABZT it doesn't even solve that issue thoroughly, just makes it more unlikely in the beinning).
I recall reading in The Creature From Jekyll Island that the Byzantine empire minted gold and silver pieces with fixed weights; and that anyone who filed, chipped or falsely forged any would have their hand cut off. The empire survived over 800 years without falling into debt or having its money devalued.
Unfortunately we live in a world where the elites do pretty much whatever they want with no penalty, and most of the population chooses not to resist it.
