Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book advocates that paper currency backed by national stocks, and not gold, should be the basis for an American currency system. The author makes an economic and constitutional case for this, saying that specie-based currencies are unreliable, fluctuate too much, and are at the mercy of foreign commerce to the detriment of the American people. The author further states that the proposed system would absorb the national debt and interest every citizen in the stability and property of the government. This would create a national currency universally current, free from foreign commerce fluctuations, not dependent on the state of affairs in foreign nations, on a drain of the precious metals, on the solvency of bankers, or the abundance or deficiency of crops. The author provides strong arguments that are still applicable to today's financial system, making this a relevant and timely economic text nearly two hundred years after it was originally written.
