Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book assesses the consequences of the silver standard adopted in various countries before 1873, how it impacted prices, trade, and living conditions, and why the standard was abandoned by most countries after this date. Subsequently, the book examines the Straits Settlements and the Native States after the closure of Indian mints in 1893 and its impact on the region's economy. The author concludes that instead of helping the economy, the region's adherence to the silver standard has instead hindered economic growth and caused widespread financial and social hardship. The author therefore recommends that the Straits Settlements and Native States abandon the silver standard and adopt a gold standard, outlining a number of potential methods to achieve this with minimal disruption and negative consequences. The book provides valuable insight into the history of monetary policy and the negative effects of an unstable monetary standard on a region's economy.
