Proposing a new monetary system to stabilize country bank notes and link them to metal currency, this work argues for chartered banks and government licenses as a path to reliability and growth.
This tract lays out a plan to make Bank Note circulation invariant and convertible, at least during times when the Bank of England’s privileges are intact. It outlines how a more transparent, chartered banking network could help the economy, protect the vulnerable, and improve tax collection and government revenue. The author draws on past crises to argue that a private banking system needs reform, greater accountability, and government support to endure shocks and sustain prosperity.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book puts forth a radical proposal: that the role of banker should move from private to public hands. The author produces a critique of the Bank of England in its failure to adequately respond to the financial crisis of 1825 and proposes several reforms. Firstly, that the government should control all issuance of paper currency, but more importantly, that the government should establish a network of publicly-owned banks to distribute loans to the economy. The author leaves no stone unturned in their critique of the Bank of England and demonstrates a deep understanding of monetary theory. Timely and insightful, this book argues persuasively for the benefits of a national banking system.
