In 1971, President Richard Nixon implemented a series of economic measures known as the Nixon Shock, which included wage and price controls to combat stagflation. These controls aimed to curb inflation by freezing prices and wages temporarily, providing immediate relief to the economy. Additionally, Nixon suspended the convertibility of the dollar into gold, effectively ending the Bretton Woods system and allowing for greater monetary flexibility. While these actions provided short-term relief, they did not resolve the underlying issues contributing to stagflation.
