Post-War Monetary Stabilization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025332673)

"Post-War Monetary Stabilization" is a seminal examination of the global financial landscape following the First World War, authored by the renowned economist Gustav Cassel. This work addresses the profound disruptions to the international monetary system caused by the abandonment of the gold standard and the subsequent inflationary pressures of the early 20th century.

Cassel, a leading figure in monetary theory, explores the challenges of returning to a stable gold-based currency and the necessity of international cooperation to prevent economic volatility. The text delves into the mechanisms of purchasing power parity and evaluates the efforts of various nations to restore fiscal discipline. Through rigorous analysis, Cassel argues for a more rational approach to currency management that prioritizes price stability over traditional orthodoxies.

This volume remains a critical resource for understanding the evolution of modern economic policy and the historical roots of international central banking. It offers invaluable insights into the complexities of exchange rates, the role of gold in the global economy, and the persistent quest for financial equilibrium in a post-conflict world.
