Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a compelling bill proposing a banking and monetary reform that would make the currency more adaptive to the changing needs of businesses. The author, a financial expert and the United States Secretary of the Treasury, advocates for a banking system that can extend credit by providing instruments that could serve as both a medium of exchange and as a means of credit. This book explores the shortcomings of the current system, in which currency, whether in the form of paper money, gold, or silver, does not adequately meet the demands of commercial activity. The author argues that a banking system should be more responsive to the needs of industry and enterprise, particularly those businesses with credit that is not well known or established enough to be effective in day-to-day financial dealings. The text delves into the intricacies of a banking system, delving into topics such as guaranteed banknotes, bank-note guaranty funds, and redemption funds. The author tackles complex issues such as the gold standard, silver parity, greenback burdens, and the tension between the need for responsive currency and government responsibility. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of banking and currency, and its significance lies in its exploration of how a reformed banking system could stimulate economic growth and adapt to the ever-changing needs of the business world.
