This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. 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.
