Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the potential consequences of restoring silver coinage to its former status as a standard monetary metal in the United States. The author argues that the shift away from silver to a gold standard in 1873 has led to a persistent decline in prices, hurting American farmers, manufacturers, and laborers. The author presents a detailed analysis of the economic and social effects of the gold standard, arguing that it has led to a concentration of wealth in the hands of those who own money and securities while harming those who produce goods and services. They challenge the arguments of those who favor maintaining the gold standard, asserting that a return to silver coinage would stimulate economic growth and benefit the majority of Americans. The book places the debate over silver coinage within the broader context of American monetary history and the history of bimetallism, the use of both gold and silver as currency. The author examines the economic theories and political battles that led to the adoption of the gold standard and argues that it is time to reconsider this decision in light of the economic challenges facing the country. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling case for re-examining the role of silver in the American monetary system, arguing that it could play a vital role in addressing economic inequality and promoting economic growth.
