In 1972, French economist Jacques Rueff issued a warning that countries would eventually begin to sell off their Dollar reserves in favor of purchasing Gold. Rueff predicted that this shift would lead to the unraveling of the entire postwar economic system, potentially resulting in a return to economic conditions reminiscent of the 1930s.
