Synopsis

Rethinking money and value in a modern economy Get a clear view of how money, debt, and metal standards shape prices, wages, and national policy. This book argues for rethinking the pound’s backing with silver as well as gold, and it explains how monetary choices affect working people and the broader economy.

The author lays out historical and contemporary tensions around monetary standards, debt, and the balance of power between debtors and creditors. It connects national decisions about coinage to real-world effects on taxation, prices, and employment, and it challenges readers to consider justice and practicality in financial policy.

What you’ll experience

• Plain explanations of gold, silver, and monetary standards and how they interact with prices


• Discussion of national debt, the funding system, and how policy changes impact workers


• Arguments for opening the mint to additional coinage and for international cooperation


• Historical context and critiques of policy decisions that shaped modern money

Ideal for readers of economic history and policy debates who want a direct, accessible look at the questions behind currency, value, and fairness in finance.
