The Bimetallic Question (1887)

The Bimetallic Question is a book written by Samuel Smith in 1887. The book is focused on the economic debate surrounding the use of two metals, gold and silver, as the basis for currency. At the time, many countries were debating whether to adopt a bimetallic standard or to stick with a gold standard. Smith analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of both systems, and provides historical examples of countries that have used each system. He also discusses the impact that the choice of currency standard has on international trade and the global economy. The Bimetallic Question is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of monetary policy and the ongoing debate over the best way to organize a monetary system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
