This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. monetary system is based on paper money backed by the full faith and credit of the fed. gov't. The currency is neither valued in, backed by, nor officially convertible into gold or silver. Through much of its history, however, the U.S. was on a metallic standard of one sort or another. On occasion, there are calls to return to such a system. Such calls are usually accompanied by claims that gold or silver backing has provided considerable economic benefits in the past. This report reviews the history of the GS in the U.S. It clarifies the dates during which the GS was used, the type of GS in operation at the various times, and the statutory changes used to alter the GS and eventually end it. It is not a discussion of the merits of the GS. A print on demand oub.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Currency in the United States: Brief Description of the Currency Systems of All Commercial Nations For three centuries this continent has been inhabited by white men. The financial experience that accompanied the development of the territory now comprised within the United States, from an aboriginal wilderness to its present proud position in the sisterhood of nations, contains much that is crucial and many severe lessons. In the beginning there was a period of barter and trade during which commodity paid for commodity. It frequently happened, however, that a man wishing to purchase goods did not have for exchange anything which the vendor desired; this, and the difficulty of making change, inspired the colonial governments to provide a currency and to give it a fixed value in trade and taxes. At first articles of real value that would go without a government fiat were selected, such as beaver skins, musket balls, com, etc.; later, printed money with government fiat was resorted to, in many cases with unfortunate results. At the very threshold of our existence our forebears, crudely, but nevertheless conclusively, illustrated the superiority of a currency unit which possessed commercial value and would circulate because people wanted it, over a currency which represented the ipse dixit of government. All of the original thirteen colonies had the same environment and the same experience. Printing money was very easy and seemingly inexpensive, since it avoided taxes at the moment. It was in consequence carried to extremes, depreciated and was largely repudiated when it came to final redemption. This currency suffered the vicissitudes inherent in its nature, precisely as did the French assignats under John Law.

This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 889 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Magisterial. . . . The direct and indirect influence of the Monetary History would be difficult to overstate.”—Ben S. Bernanke, Nobel Prize–winning economist and former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve From Nobel Prize–winning economist Milton Friedman and his celebrated colleague Anna Jacobson Schwartz, one of the most important economics books of the twentieth century—the landmark work that rewrote the story of the Great Depression and the understanding of monetary policy Milton Friedman and Anna Jacobson Schwartz’s A Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960 is one of the most influential economics books of the twentieth century. A landmark achievement, it marshaled massive historical data and sharp analytics to argue that monetary policy—steady control of the money supply—matters profoundly in the management of the nation’s economy, especially in navigating serious economic fluctuations. One of the book’s most important chapters, “The Great Contraction, 1929–33” addressed the central economic event of the twentieth century, the Great Depression. Friedman and Schwartz argued that the Federal Reserve could have stemmed the severity of the Depression, but failed to exercise its role of managing the monetary system and countering banking panics. The book served as a clarion call to the monetarist school of thought by emphasizing the importance of the money supply in the functioning of the economy—an idea that has come to shape the actions of central banks worldwide.
