Bretton Woods system was ended. Effectively taking the whole world off what was left of the gold standard.

Feminism won't have helped either..... increased the workforce which supressed wages, which made it harder to raise a family on one wage, which resulted in women pretty much having to work whether they wanted to or not, which incresed the workforce even more

Immigration act of 1965 hurt more than feminism. Now if you strike they just import your replacement.
