Synopsis

This book examines the stark contrast between the economic prosperity found in France and the simultaneous labor oppression in the United States and Germany during the late 19th century. The author argues that this discrepancy was caused by the different monetary policies of each nation. While the US and Germany chose to limit the supply of their currency to match the supply of gold, France increased its currency supply. The author demonstrates that by increasing the money supply, France was able to keep its labor force fully employed, leading to the increased production of goods, a rise in wages, and ultimately economic prosperity. The author concludes that the key to economic prosperity is not a limited currency supply backed by gold, but rather a currency supply that is sufficient to keep the labor force fully employed. This book provides valuable insights into the relationship between monetary policy and economic prosperity, and offers lessons that are still relevant today.
