{"product_id":"nation-states-and-money-emily-gilbert-9780415189262","title":"Nation-States and Money: The Past, Present and Future of National Currencies","description":"National currencies appear to be threatened from all sides. European Union member countries are due to abandon their national currencies in favour of a supranational currency by the year 2000. Elsewhere, the use of foreign currencies within national economic spaces is on the increase, as shown by the growth of eurocurrency activity, and currency substitution in many parts of the world. In the last decade, privately-issued sub-national local currencies have also proliferated in a number of countries, and predict the emergence of private electronic monies of the future. In the light of these transformations, this book asks what the future holds for national currencies. The first half of the volume addresses issues relating to money leading up to, and during, the formation of national currencies. Ranging widely in their historical and geographical context, the papers problematise the relationship between money and nation-states by examining alternative forms and uses of currencies during this period. The second half look at contemporary challenges faced by national currencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Gilbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415189268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415189262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.38w x 0.77d","brand":"Emily Gilbert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086306291967,"sku":"9780415189262","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ca65ec8-42e5-48a1-a38c-30c2a0704976.jpg?v=1769093928","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nation-states-and-money-emily-gilbert-9780415189262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
