Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical role of gold and silver as money and the subsequent change in monetary standards. The author argues that removing one half of the monetary basis, by demonetizing silver, creates instability in the value of the whole. In exploring the functions of money as a medium of exchange, store of value, and standard of measurement, the author explains that only full-powered metallic money is capable of performing all of these functions in an enduring way. The book challenges the quantitative theory of money and introduces a new theory, positing that it is a country's monetary demand in relation to its supply that determines the value of money. This thoughtful analysis will appeal to anyone seeking to understand monetary policy, banking, and the historical and modern evolution of money.
