Understanding the core ideas behind today’s monetary chaos and what drives inflation.
This book explains how war, paper currencies, and changing payment habits have reshaped money in many countries. It looks at the shift from gold to diverse paper standards and why the total amount of money can rise without a matching rise in goods. The discussion focuses on what counts as real money, how payments are made, and why prices move differently in different places.
Across chapters, readers will see how governments created more money and how that affects buying power. The text also considers the role of gold, the dangers of scarce gold, and the idea of stabilizing value across nations. It addresses how price levels rise, how people measure those rises, and why official statistics may diverge from lived experience. The book also surveys economic policy decisions that influence inflation, trade, and recovery after conflict.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the global monetary crisis that arose in the wake of World War I. The author, a renowned economist, traces the origins of the widespread inflation and economic instability to the reckless creation of money by governments to finance the war. He argues that this 'inflation' has undermined the value of currencies, disrupted international trade, and caused great hardship, particularly for those on lower incomes. The author proposes solutions to these problems, emphasizing the need to restore sound monetary standards based on the pre-war gold standard. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the monetary crisis of the early 20th century and offers valuable insights for understanding the challenges facing the global economy today.
