How can you have inflation during a depression? You ether have one or the other.

Gold was $20 per ounce and circulated freely with other money and currency in 1929.

In 1933, FDR came along and said gold was $35 per ounce and no American was allowed to possess any of it.

But that wasn't inflation, was it?

Depression means as it says, prices for everything are depressed. Inflation is the exact opposite. You can’t have both at the same time.
