Today's editorial in the New York Sun remembers French President Charles de Gaulle's opposition to the imperialism of the U.S. dollar, expressed at a press conference in 1965. "The virtue of the gold standard, in the eyes of DeGaulle," the Sun writes, "was that the system was not particular to any one country but imposed the same measure of value and thus of discipline on all of them. ... Janet Yellen doesn't want to talk about DeGaulle's point."
