About this title

Synopsis

This book offers a powerful critique of the economic systems of the 19th century. Taking the United States as its central case study, the author delves into the complexities of money, banking, and national debt. The book examines the historical evolution of money, tracing its development from the barter system to the use of coins, and then exploring the transition to paper currency. Through a detailed analysis of the specie basis system, the author demonstrates how the power to issue money, when delegated to private banks and corporations, can create a system that benefits the wealthy at the expense of the working class. The book also delves into the specific consequences of the specie basis system on the American economy, detailing the recurrent financial crashes and panics that plagued the nation during the 19th century. The author argues that these economic crises were not inevitable but rather a consequence of a flawed monetary system that was designed to enrich a select few. By examining the detrimental effects of the specie basis system, this book challenges the conventional wisdom of the time and offers a compelling argument for a legal tender paper money system controlled by the government. The author argues that such a system, by making money more available and less subject to manipulation, would foster greater economic equality and prosperity for all Americans.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
