"The 1920’s was an inflationary period. Murray Rothbard estimates that the money stock grew by 63% (Rothbard “America’s Great Depression” [1963] 1983 : p.90) and Milton Friedman estimates the growth to be 45% from 1921 to 1929 (Friedman “A Monetary History of The United States” [1963] 1993: p.274).
