Inhaltsangabe

2017 Reprint of 1958 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. In Fiat Money Inflation in France, Andrew Dickson White presents the still-largely-unknown story of a major factor behind the French Revolution. The definitive account of the hyperinflation that occurred in the wake of the French Revolution of 1789, Fiat Money Inflation in France is a warning on the dangers of government overspending and the oversupply of paper money. A work of brevity and clarity, it is as relevant today as ever.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

American historian and educator Andrew Dickson White co-founded Cornell University and presided over it as its first president for over 20 years (November 7, 1832 - November 4, 1918). He had a reputation for broadening the purview of college curricula. He had been a politician who had represented New York as a state senator. Later, among other duties, he was designated as an American envoy to Germany and Russia. In his book History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, he attempted to substantiate the conflict thesis, which holds that science and religion have always been at odds. He was one of the pioneers of this theory. Clara (née Dickson) and Horace White welcomed their son Andrew Dickson White into the world on November 7, 1832 in Homer, New York. Horace was the son of Asa White, a farmer from Massachusetts, and his wife, while Clara was the daughter of Andrew Dickson, a New York State Assemblyman in 1832, and his wife. When Horace was 13 years old, a fire decimated their formerly prosperous farm.
