Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book questions the nature and theories behind money, arguing that traditional perceptions of its value are deeply flawed. The author contends that money is a human invention, influenced by the relative value placed on gold and silver throughout history. Following a detailed examination of how gold and silver came to be utilized as money, the author argues that the established theory of currency is inadequate and flawed. Offering a new practical theory of money, the book examines the legislation of 1816 that established England's current financial system, arguing that it is built upon an incomplete understanding of money. The author suggests that the current system results in a significant loss to British industry and that a reconsideration of monetary policy is urgently needed. This book is a compelling and thoroughly researched exploration of money that challenges and presents an alternative to the traditional theory and its real-world applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
