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.

Download or read book A History of Currency in the United States written by A. Barton Hepburn and published by . This book was released on 2002-05-01 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepburn seeks to cover all essential facts concerning currency, coinage, and banking, from the Colonial period to the development of the United States Federal Reserve Banks. Within this broad topic, Hepburn provides an historical account of the monetary system during the Civil War. He examines paper currency, the coinage system, legal tender notes, and the development of the National Banking system separately and in-depth. Alonzo Barton Hepburn (1846-1922) was a legislator and banker. He served (1875-80) in the New York state legislature and became chairman of the legislative committee to investigate railroad rate discrimination. The published proceedings of this committee - popularly called the Hepburn Report - strongly influenced subsequent corrective legislation and helped bring about the adoption in 1887 of the federal Interstate Commerce Act. Later Hepburn devoted himself to banking and to government fiscal administration, becoming President of Chase National Bank and having a major role in the creation of the Federal Reserve System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 10 In God We Trust Ben Franklin designed the continental dollar coin in 1776 and it bore thirteen stars to represent the thirteen colonies. Being a funny man, he also included the phrase "Time flies, so mind your business" on the coins. It was not until 1865 that "In God, We Trust" was legally allowed to be added to American currency, though earlier forms included the phrase "God and our right". There was actually a lot of discussion around whether to include "In God, We Trust" on the currency and from time to time it fell out of use. But then in 1908, it became mandatory for the phrase to be placed on all coins or notes upon which it had previously been printed (though it was still not required on denominations that had never borne the sentence). And then in 1956, President Eisenhower signed the law making it compulsory to include it on all US money.9 US Dollars Aren't Greenbacks Current US dollars aren't greenbacks. Greenbacks were dollars created and used by Republican president Abraham Lincoln in the 1860s. They were created out of necessity as the union was going to fast run out of money to fight the civil war. So in 1861, congress permitted the printing of 50 million "demand notes" which were printed with green ink on the reverse--thus leading to the coining of their famous name. It soon became apparent that these would also not be enough to fight the war so, reluctantly, President Lincoln began issuing full legal tender US dollars (also printed in green on the reverse side). Despite the fact that these (and a variety of other notes through the course of US financial history) are no longer printed, they all remain legal tender. Though if you find one it may be worth more if you keep hold of it for the historic interest.8 Rare Bills Rarely seen US denominations exist or have existed in the past. Pretty much everyone knows about the $2 bill now, so you can no longer use it to prank people, but another lesser-known (and definitely less likely to be seen) note is the $100,000 that was printed in the 1930s for use between banks as gold notes after the abolition of private gold ownership (these are still illegal to own). These notes made it easier for the US government to rob the entire nation and hand its wealth over to a private company with secret ownership (more on that soon). At other times there were also $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 notes all of which remain legal tender to this day, but--like greenbacks--these are worth more to collectors than their face value so don't spend them!

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.
