The Bimetallic Question (1887) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104246495)

The Bimetallic Question, written by Samuel Smith in 1887, is a detailed analysis of the economic debate surrounding the use of bimetallic currency systems. The book explores the historical background of bimetallism, its advantages and disadvantages, and the political and economic implications of its adoption. Smith presents a comprehensive overview of the arguments for and against bimetallism, including the role of gold and silver in international trade, the effects of currency fluctuations on the economy, and the potential impact on inflation and interest rates. The author also examines the experiences of countries that have adopted bimetallic systems, such as France and the United States. The Bimetallic Question is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of monetary policy and the ongoing debate over the best way to manage currency systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
