A Colloquy On Currency (1893)

A Colloquy On Currency is a book written by Henry Hucks Gibbs and published in 1893. The book is a discussion on the topic of currency between two fictional characters, Mr. Bullion and Mr. Paper, who represent the opposing views on the issue. Mr. Bullion is a proponent of the gold standard and argues that a currency backed by gold is the most stable and reliable. Mr. Paper, on the other hand, argues that a currency backed by the government's credit is more flexible and better suited to the needs of modern economies. The two characters engage in a lively debate, discussing the pros and cons of each system and presenting their arguments in a clear and concise manner. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and economics of currency and provides a fascinating insight into the debates that have shaped the development of modern monetary systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
