This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. monetary system is based on paper money backed by the full faith and credit of the fed. gov't. The currency is neither valued in, backed by, nor officially convertible into gold or silver. Through much of its history, however, the U.S. was on a metallic standard of one sort or another. On occasion, there are calls to return to such a system. Such calls are usually accompanied by claims that gold or silver backing has provided considerable economic benefits in the past. This report reviews the history of the GS in the U.S. It clarifies the dates during which the GS was used, the type of GS in operation at the various times, and the statutory changes used to alter the GS and eventually end it.

Book Synopsis The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century by : Steven Bryan
Download or read book The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century written by Steven Bryan and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the nineteenth century, the world was ready to adopt the gold standard out of concerns of national power, prestige, and anti-English competition. Yet although the gold standard allowed countries to enact a virtual single world currency, the years before World War I were not a time of unfettered liberal economics and one-world, one-market harmony. Outside of Europe, the gold standard became a tool for nationalists and protectionists primarily interested in growing domestic industry and imperial expansion. This overlooked trend, provocatively reassessed in Steven Bryan's well-documented history, contradicts our conception of the gold standard as a British-based system infused with English ideas, interests, and institutions. In countries like Japan and Argentina, where nationalist concerns focused on infant-industry protection and the growth of military power, the gold standard enabled the expansion of trade and the goals of the age: industry and empire. Bryan argues that these countries looked less to Britain and more to North America and the rest of Europe for ideological models. Not only does this history challenge our idealistic notions of the prewar period, but it also reorients our understanding of the history that followed. Policymakers of the 1920s latched onto the idea that global prosperity before World War I was the result of a system dominated by English liberalism. Their attempt to reproduce this triumph helped bring about the global downturn, the Great Depression, and the collapse of the interwar world.

Book Synopsis Gold, Peace, and Prosperity by : Ron Paul
Download or read book Gold, Peace, and Prosperity written by Ron Paul and published by Ludwig von Mises Institute. This book was released on 2011-07-25 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised Pocket Edition! The second edition of Gold, Peace, and Prosperity is just 4.25" x .4" x 7 " in size. Truly portable and available at volume discounts. The book has been newly type set and all images updated. This is the perfect handout for education of the gold standard. The book is a quick read that covers the whole history of monetary destruction, providing information that most people have never heard or thought about. In that sense, it is the perfect conversation starter, and it could inspire more reading and activism for sound money. We produced this beautiful edition for the broadest distribution - an effort to popularize and universalize the cause of sound money. Author Ron Paul has been the leading champion of sound money in the Congress. He explains why sound money has meant the gold standard. The monograph is written in the clearest possible terms with the goal of explaining the basics of paper money and its effects of inflation, business cycles, and government growth. He maps out a plan to bring about a dollar that is as good as gold, one that would be protected against manipulation by government and central bankers. Part of that strategy is the minting of a new gold one but the more far-reaching plan involves a redefinition of the dollar and complete monetary competition. This monograph first appeared in 1981, and it has been in wide distribution ever since. But we've never had an edition this beautiful, this affordable, and this handy. Second Edition Foreword by Henry Hazlitt Preface by Murray Rothbard.
Book Synopsis Battles for the Standard by : Ted Wilson
Download or read book Battles for the Standard written by Ted Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000. This is a history of the monetary developments in the international economy of the 19th century. It reviews the monetary developments in the core economies of the period: Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and also India. Particular attention is given to the expansion of the gold standard in the context of the intense national and international debates about the role of precious metals and the author also examines the conflict between supporters of gold, silver and bimetallism, both in terms of competing financial and economic theories and in terms of the varying social and cultural backgrounds that informed them. The main thrust of the work is that the sheer plurality of ideas and contexts helped to ensure the eventual victory of the gold standard, despite the inherent superiority of bimetallic systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spread of currency convertibility is one of the most dramatic trends of the late twentieth century.

In this book a team of leading international economists and economic historians look at parallel situations in the history of the international monetary system, focusing in particular on the gold standard. The concluding chapter uses a case study of modern Portugal to draw out implications for modern international monetary relations in Europe and for the rest of the world.

Download or read book Similarities and differences between the Classical Gold Standard and the Gold Exchange Standard written by Filippo Marino and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Economic and Social History, grade: 29/30, , language: English, abstract: Gold is definitely one of the most reliable, storable and easily recognizable means of exchange. For these and other virtues, this precious metal has been used as a form of money since the earliest populations, but it’s only from the late nineteenth century that gold represented an international currency essential for the needs of a world economy more and more integrated. By fixing its national currency in terms of a specific weight of fine gold, each country could determine a unit of account in which all other forms of money are convertible, creating in this way an international system of fixed exchange rates. This leads to an important advantage (in terms of globalization): the value of a domestic currency does not depend on its demand/supply, but on the quantity of gold pegged to it, being in this way “standardized”. Historically, the gold standard system was divided in two different periods: the classical gold standard (1870-1914) and the gold-exchange standard (1922-1930s). These systems do not differ only for chronological reasons, but also for their structure, the impact they had on the world economy and the causes that determined their failure.
