Shibley argues that this deflationary period had evil effects on society and proposes a remedy: bimetallism at a ratio of 16 to 1, alongside governmental control of paper money. This, he believes, would secure a stable measure of prices and create stable money.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book presents a detailed monetary history spanning from 1850 to 1896, examining the economic policies and events that led to the crisis. Shibley's work is a valuable resource for understanding the debates surrounding monetary policy in the United States during a pivotal era in its economic development. His advocacy for bimetallism and government intervention reflects a broader concern for economic stability and social welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
