Pamphlets of the Hour on English Currency

By William Blacker, George Berkeley, James Harvey

Book Overview

Pamphlets Of The Hour On English Currency is a book authored by George Berkeley and originally published in 1872. The book consists of a series of pamphlets written by Berkeley, a renowned philosopher and economist, that were published in the British press during the mid-19th century. The pamphlets address the issue of English currency and its impact on the economy, particularly in relation to the gold standard and the use of paper money. Berkeley argues that the English currency system is flawed and that the use of paper money is causing inflation and economic instability. He also proposes alternative solutions to the currency problem, including the use of a bimetallic standard and the establishment of a national bank. The book provides valuable insights into the economic debates of the time and remains a relevant resource for contemporary discussions on monetary policy and financial regulation.Also Authored By John Welsh, Ogden Whitlock And Others.
