Could an Increase in the Supply of Gold Cause a Boom-Bust Cycle?

Can an increase in the supply of gold cause a boom-bust cycle? Mises believed it was theoretically possible but highly unlikely. Rothbard, on the other hand, said as long as gold is money and there is no fiduciary media, such a scenario was not possible.

Writings are professional, but have someone like Michael Stack

Sicardimenian

For all the professional writings, I prefer Stack as the narrator to Quinteros, the latter of whose narration appears to struggle with the inflection in sentences and pronunciation. In particular, he should learn how to pronounce words that contain “wh,” which is supposed to be enunciated as /hw/ instead of a simple /w/. “Whine,” for example, is not a homophone of “wine.”
