Synopsis

This book focuses on the monetary debate of the 19th century when many major economies were transitioning to the gold standard. This controversial decision resulted in many debates about the merits of the gold standard, and the author provides thorough research discussing the negative effects of demonetizing silver, contrasting the situations of countries like England, America, France, and Germany in their transition. Additionally, this book provides critical insights into the rise of the gold standard as a reflection of the political and economic issues of the time. Overall, this book gives a valuable historical examination of the economic landscape of the 19th century and its implications for the 21st century.
