Several Assertions Proved: In Order to Create Another Species of Money Than Gold and Silver
This historical treatise argues for rethinking money and credit in nineteenth‑century style terms, grounded in earlier debates from the 1690s. It blends economic theory with reflections on law, governance, and the role of the state in shaping financial systems.
This edition guides readers through a provocative case for using lands and securities as money, the mechanics of dividing and organizing assets, and how public authority might sanction and regulate such inventions. It blends practical examples from early banking experiments with broader questions about value, trust, and national finance."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on economic theory and explores the practical creation of a new form of currency to address the limitations of gold and silver. The author, writing in the 17th century, argues that land possesses all the qualities of money and proposes establishing a land bank that would convert land titles into money through a standardized process of division. This novel approach sought to alleviate the economic problems of the time, including the scarcity of money and the high cost of borrowing. By delving into the nature of money and the role of land in the economy, the book challenges conventional thinking and offers a unique perspective on the creation and management of currency. Its insights remain relevant today, as societies continue to grapple with economic challenges and seek alternative monetary systems.
