Synopsis

The book argues for a bold reform of money and politics to empower workers and sustain liberty.

This edition presents a rigorous look at how money and banking have shaped American life, from civil war currency to modern finance. It frames monetary policy as a human-rights issue and offers a clear case for reform that centers the public interest and labor’s rights.

The work traces the rise of the greenback as a modern, democratic money, contrasts it with bank notes, and explains why control of the nation’s currency matters to ordinary people. It blends history, economics, and political debate to examine how money power can influence government and society.

Readers will gain a grounded overview of key concepts, including legal tender, debt, and monetary policy, and see how different money systems affect everyday life and national priorities.

  • Clear explanation of what greenbacks are and how they compare to bank notes
  • Analysis of legal tender, government power, and the public debt
  • Historical context from the Civil War era to later financial policy shifts
  • Arguments about how monetary reform could affect labor, rights, and democracy

Ideal for readers interested in economic history, monetary policy, and the relationship between finance and labor rights.
