Synopsis
A historic look at money, coinage, and the gold standard.
Learn how 19th-century debates shaped American finance.

It frames how coinage policies, legal tender, and monetary law influenced the economy and daily life in the 1890s.- Understand what free coinage might mean in practice and how it differs from gratuitous coinage.
- See how the dollar functions as a unit of account and why some view it as an impossible “unit of value.”
- Learn the arguments that favored a gold standard and the concerns raised about its effects on prices, debt, and industry.
- Consider how laws and government action relate to money, contracts, and the tension between policy and markets.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the late 19th century, provides a discussion and critique of the single gold standard. The author, a proponent of bimetallism, argues that the gold standard has led to deflation, increased debt, and economic hardship, particularly for farmers and wage earners. The book delves into the history of money and coinage, exploring the relationship between the value of silver and gold and its impact on the economy. By examining monetary policy and its effects on prices, interest rates, and international trade, the author builds a case for the restoration of silver as a monetary metal alongside gold. This fascinating and informative book offers a valuable perspective on the monetary debates of the late 19th century and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the role of money in the economy.
