Book Synopsis Gold (Routledge Revivals) by : Rae Weston
Download or read book Gold (Routledge Revivals) written by Rae Weston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1983, this book provides a comprehensive view of gold and gold trading in its many facets, and identifies those sources of information that are important for an understanding of the world’s gold markets. The author looks first at gold’s changing role since 1960; in particular, the change from the fixed price to the present free market determination of price. The different forms the demand for gold takes – bullion, paper or in fabricated forms such as jewellery – are explained in detail. This is followed by an analysis of the supply side – new gold production and the circulation of existing old gold. The survey concludes with an assessment of the gold market and of gold prices now and in the future.
Book Synopsis Gold Prices and Wages (Routledge Revivals) by : J. A. Hobson
Download or read book Gold Prices and Wages (Routledge Revivals) written by J. A. Hobson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1913, this Routledge Revivals title reissues J. A. Hobson’s seminal analysis of the causal link between the rise in gold prices and the increase in wages and consumer buying power in the early years of the Twentieth Century. Contrary to the assertions of some notable contemporary economists and businessmen, Hobson contended that the relationship between gold prices and wages (and the resulting social unrest across much of Europe) was in fact much more complex than it initially appeared and that there were significantly more important factors in the rise of contemporary wealth, such as the rapid enlargement of state enterprise and joint stock companies; a wide extension of banking and general financial apparatus; and the opening of profitable fields of investment for the development of underdeveloped countries, which helped raise the rate of interest and profits.
Book Synopsis The Tragedy of the Pound (Routledge Revivals) by : Paul Einzig
Download or read book The Tragedy of the Pound (Routledge Revivals) written by Paul Einzig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1932, this book discusses the suspension of the gold standard in Britain, and the economic events surrounding September 1931. It argues that despite specific errors made by individuals, groups, and individual nations, the attempts to save the pound had little chance of recovery. Indeed, years before its collapse, powerful, fundamental factors had been eroding its stability. Hence, the author does not entirely blame the influence of French policy, or Great Britain’s political and economic decline after the war, but states that the collapse of sterling was co-ordinated by several factors of importance.
Book Synopsis Curtains of Iron and Gold by : Heikki Eskelinen
Download or read book Curtains of Iron and Gold written by Heikki Eskelinen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book examines the construction of new political, economic and mental borders in post-Cold War Europe. Various national and regional settings are analyzed along the old East-West divide. In post-Cold War Europe the East-West divide no longer exists in the form of the clear-cut Iron Curtain, separating two security blocs, two politico-economic systems, and two ideologically and culturally distinct worlds. Still, it remains clearly discernible, both in the form of unrelenting politico-cultural differences and as an economic Golden Curtain. At the same time, a more complicated system of intersecting political, economic and mental borders keeps developing. Today, there are various scales of interaction, which produce distinctive national, regional and local experiences of borders. In this book, the construction of new political, economic and mental borders is analysed by specialists from both sides of the former East-West divide. The future of European borders is discussed in various national and regional settings, from the Barents Region in the North to the Old Habsburgian lands in ‘Mitteleuropa’.
Book Synopsis Monetary Reform in Theory and Practice (Routledge Revivals) by : Paul Einzig
Download or read book Monetary Reform in Theory and Practice (Routledge Revivals) written by Paul Einzig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1936, this book gives the reader an insight into the tendencies and spirit of the monetary reform movement as a whole, as accomplished or proposed since the First World War. The author marks the consideration of the overall reform as being more important than specifically looking at the actual proposals and measures involved, and the views he attributes to the various monetary reform schools are therefore composite views of the various factions of those schools. As a comparatively recent convert to the idea of monetary reform, at the time of writing, the author offers a balanced view of the subject as he also has extensive experience of the ideas of the orthodox monetary system. However, he does not believe that monetary reform alone can achieve the desired end without considerable economic planning. Indeed, he suggests that the monetary reform movement he discusses desperately needs to adopt a broader perspective and thus, he suggests a compromise.
Book Synopsis Russia's 'Age of Silver' (Routledge Revivals) by : Ian Blanchard
Download or read book Russia's 'Age of Silver' (Routledge Revivals) written by Ian Blanchard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, Russia’s ‘Age of Silver’ represents a major contribution to the history of the international economy during the eighteenth century, challenging old prejudices and establishing the importance of Russian precious-metal production. Ian Blanchard examines the nature of the Central and South America specie crisis of 1670 to 1760, and the response of European precious-metal producers. He highlights the rise of the Russian copper industry to a position of world supremacy, and the Siberian gold and silver mines to ‘old world’ supremacy. The study explains why Russia experienced little inflation and why no metal was exported: the economy acted as a sponge, absorbing the flood of coins as monetary expansion was paralleled by rapid economic growth. These developments doubled average per capita incomes over the course of the century, so that between 1788 and 1807 the average Russian enjoyed an income equivalent to that of their British counterpart. Providing a comprehensive analysis, this reissue will be of particular value to students and researchers with an interest in Russian economic history.

Book Synopsis The Sterling-Dollar-Franc Tangle (Routledge Revivals) by : Paul Einzig
Download or read book The Sterling-Dollar-Franc Tangle (Routledge Revivals) written by Paul Einzig and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1933, the original purpose of this book was to draw attention to the international aspects of monetary policy and to put forward the case for international co-operation in the monetary sphere. Paul Einzig highlights the negative impact that a lack of international spirit in monetary policy can have and promotes an increased understanding amongst nations. He discusses the failure of the Monetary and Economic Conference of June-July 1933 and expresses his belief that the monetary crisis of the time could have been solved, if not through an agreement, then through the inevitable inflationary effect of the increasing economic difficulties.
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.

Book Synopsis Rome and the Friendly King (Routledge Revivals) by : David Braund
Download or read book Rome and the Friendly King (Routledge Revivals) written by David Braund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome and the Friendly King, first published in 1984, offers a functional definition of what is usually called client kingship – to show what a client king (or ‘friendly king’, to use the Roman term) was in practice. Each aspect of this complex role is examined over a period of six centuries: the making of a king; exposure to Roman institutions and individuals; formal recognition as a friendly ruler. Professor Braund shows how the king’s power related to Roman authority, and to his subjects. The role of Romans in royal wills, principally as recipients of bequests, is also examined, and it is also shown how some kings were assimilated completely into Roman society to become senators in their own right. In conclusion, Professor Braund considers the ways in which both sides benefited from client kingship and, in doing so, helps to explain the persistent use of such relationships throughout history.
Book Synopsis Futures Markets (Routledge Revivals) by : Barry Goss
Download or read book Futures Markets (Routledge Revivals) written by Barry Goss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, this book discusses many important aspects of the theory and practice of Futures Markets. It describes how they, at the time, grew to be an increasingly important feature of the world's major financial centres. Indeed, they adopted the role of being efficient forward pricing mechanisms and this was reflected by the interest of economists in the study of risk, uncertainty and information. Here, the contributors focus on areas that were of concern in the late 1980s such as feasibility, forward pricing and returns, and the modelling of price determination in Futures Markets. Evidence is drawn from twenty-five different commodities representing all the major commodity groups; and from all the world's major centres of Futures Trading.

Book Synopsis Growth and Fluctuations 1870-1913 (Routledge Revivals) by : W. Arthur Lewis
Download or read book Growth and Fluctuations 1870-1913 (Routledge Revivals) written by W. Arthur Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this title, first published in 1978, Sir Arthur Lewis considers the development of the international economy in the forty years leading up to the First World War, with the adoption of the gold standard, a rapid growth in world trade, the opening up of the continents by the railways, vast emigration from Europe, India and China, and large-scale international investment. The book contrasts the relationship between prices, industrial fluctuations, agricultural output, and the stock of monetary gold, considering both the varying patterns of leading economies and then their net combined effect on the rest of the world. This is history which illuminates the contemporary economic climate in which it was written but also casts light upon our current economic crisis.
Book Synopsis The Economies of Africa and Asia in the Inter-war Depression (Routledge Revivals) by : Ian Brown
Download or read book The Economies of Africa and Asia in the Inter-war Depression (Routledge Revivals) written by Ian Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great inter-war depression has long been seen as an unprecedented economic disaster for the peoples of the non-European world. This book, with its detailed assessment of the impact of the depression on the economies of Africa and Asia, challenges the orthodox view, and is essential reading for those with a teaching or research interest in the modern economic history of those continents. Established specialists in the modern economic history of parts of Africa or Asia put forward a number of revisionist arguments. They show that some economies were left essentially unscathed by the depression, and that for many export-dependent peasant communities which did face a severe drop in cash income as world commodity prices collapsed from the late 1920s, there was a range of important responses and reactions by which they could defend their economic welfare. For many peasant communities the depression was not a disaster but an opportunity.
Book Synopsis The Phenomenon of Money (Routledge Revivals) by : Thomas Crump
Download or read book The Phenomenon of Money (Routledge Revivals) written by Thomas Crump and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, this book concerns itself with the different ways in which money is used, the relationships which then arise, and the institutions concerned in maintaining its various functions. Thomas Crump examines the emergence of institutions with familiar and distinctive monetary roles: the state, the market and the banking system. However, other uses of money - such as for gambling or the payment of fines - are also taken into account, in an exhaustive, encyclopedic treatment of the subject, which extends far beyond the range of conventional treatises on money.
