About this title

Synopsis

Pamphlets Of The Hour On English Currency (1872) is a collection of essays by George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher and economist. The book focuses on the issue of currency in England during the mid-19th century, particularly the debate over the use of paper money versus gold and silver coins. Berkeley argues that the use of paper money is detrimental to the economy, as it leads to inflation and devalues the currency. He also criticizes the government's monetary policies and calls for a return to a gold standard. The book provides a historical perspective on the development of English currency and offers insights into the economic and political climate of the time. Overall, Pamphlets Of The Hour On English Currency is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economics and monetary policy.Also Authored By John Welsh, Ogden Whitlock And Others.
