After a lapse of ten years this pamphlet is again presented to the public, and without alteration. In an appendix will be found the notices with which it has been favored by the press. Prom these it will be seen that, although the remedy proposed is almost universally condemned, the evil to be remedied is universally acknowledged, and is recognised in all its magnitude. The condemnation of the remedy has arisen, probably, in a great degree, from a supposition of its impracticability. It is impossible, some will say, that the public shall be brought to a ready money system. But the word impossible has, though once a short objection to almost every great and novel attempt in science or art, in speaking of projects not altogether contrary to the nature of things now much fallen into disuse. It has, during the last half of a century, become more and more faint in the vocabulary, till it is at length scarcely legible.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the nature and consequence of credit in regard to the British banking & lending system of the early 1800's. The author examines the historical rise and development of credit, the benefits, and drawbacks it brings to individuals, and the role that credit, particularly that offered by joint-stock companies, plays in the broader political economy of Britain. Amidst a period of economic turmoil, the author points out the ways in which credit has contributed to cycles of unsustainable business practices, increasingly unaffordable living costs, social upheaval, and political distress. The author argues for strict and enforceable limits on the types and quantities of credit available to individuals and businesses, since market forces alone have proven insufficient to avoid the pitfalls of speculative credit practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
