Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "The Assignats" provides a comprehensive and scholarly analysis of the paper currency issued during the French Revolution, offering a deep dive into one of the most significant monetary experiments in history. Written by renowned economist S. E. Harris, this work meticulously examines the origins, circulation, and eventual collapse of the assignat system. It explores the intricate relationship between revolutionary politics and the desperate fiscal measures taken to sustain the new republic.The study details the transition of the assignat from a land-backed security to a fiat currency, tracing the path toward hyperinflation and the resulting socio-economic turmoil. Harris provides a rigorous examination of the policies implemented by the National Assembly and the subsequent revolutionary governments, analyzing their impact on trade, debt, and the daily lives of the French citizenry. By highlighting the theoretical and practical failures of the currency, the work serves as a foundational text for understanding the history of central banking and the risks of unmanaged monetary expansion.Essential for students of economic history and the French Revolution, "The Assignats" remains a vital resource for understanding how financial policy can shape the course of political upheaval and the long-term stability of a nation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
