9781440076602: If Not Silver, What? (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

A careful look at gold, silver, and the worldwide demand that could reshape money and civilization.

This edition examines the rising push and practical limits of bimetallism, using historical data and economic analysis. It asks whether the world can sustain both metals as money and what happens when Asia and Europe shift how much gold and silver they use. The discussion ties together production trends, national finances, and the future of global commerce.




  • How gold and silver have moved in value and why that matters for money today

  • What historical cases say about keeping two metals in a common monetary system

  • Projected demand from Asia and its potential impact on global reserves

  • Implications for researchers, students, and readers curious about monetary policy



Ideal for readers of economics and financial history who want a clear, data-grounded view of money, metal supply, and world markets.

Présentation de l'éditeur

If you will show me a system which gives absolute permanence, I will take it in preference to any other. But of all conceivable systems of currency, that system is assuredly the worst which gives you a standard steadily, continuously, indefinitely appreciating, and which, by that very fact, throws a burden upon every man of enterprise, upon every man who desires to promote the agricultural or the industrial resources of the country, and benefits no human being whatever but the owner of fixed debts in gold. Speech of the RIGHT HON. A. J. BALFOUB, at Manchester, England, October 21, 1892.
