chosen.content: The Federal Reserve started moving away from the gold standard in the 1960s. This was spurred by various economic and political factors, including the desire to allow for more monetary policy flexibility and the increasing value of gold compared to the dollar. In 1971, the U.S. formally ended the direct convertibility of the dollar to gold, meaning that the U.S. government no longer guaranteed to redeem dollars for gold. Since then, the Federal Reserve has been working towards achieving its objectives of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates using a variety of different tools.

rejected.content: In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared the United States off the gold standard, and the Federal Reserve was no longer obligated to exchange its currency for physical gold. This event effectively eliminated the last convertibility limitation on the dollar and marked the start of a flexible currency system. Since then, the Fed has maintained a policy of "moderate inflation" by increasing the money supply, as the US moved away from the constraints of the gold standard.
