About this title

Synopsis

A clear look at how gold and silver money shape Britain’s trade, prices, and prosperity.

The book adapts a 1886 address to the Dumbarton Philosophical Society, exploring how monetary rules affect industry and banking. It argues for restoring a bi-metallic standard and for international agreement on a fixed gold–silver ratio, with free minting and full legal tender.

• Learn how money is defined in law and why legal tender matters more than coin value
• Understand the debate over bi-metalism, free minting, and international cooperation
• See how monetary policy can influence prices, wages, and industrial growth
• Consider practical concerns about debt, banking reserves, and global trade

Ideal for readers of economic history and policy debates from the late 19th century.
