Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political Economy of Great Britain, the United States, and France, in the Use of Money: A New Science of Production and Exchange I dedicate to you this book, which for good reasons, as I believe, I have entitled The Political Economy of Great Britain, the United States, and France, in the use of Money. A new Science of Production and Exchange. My theory of money, and consequently of deposits, is, I believe, entirely new, and therefore so entirely opposed to all current ideas and the language which embodies them, that to get a fair hearing at once may perhaps be difficult.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. The following dialogue was intended to form part of a work entitled The Political Economy of Great Britain, the United States, and France, in the Use of Money: A New Science of Production and Exchange. As it would swell the book to too great a size for convenience, it is published separately. To some minds this form of arguing economical and monetary questions may be more agreeable than a didactic and formal one; and besides this, a comparison with prevailing opinions can be carried along at the same time. New ideas are thus presented in the most forcible manner possible, and those who offer them have some opportunity of being heard, by being found in company with those who can argue in favor of the old ideas. The dialogue introduces a skilled workman who is in search of work, who thinks the national banks ought to be immediately wound up because they are making money scarce, and their notes replaced by government issues. Absurd as this scheme really is, and as it certainly appears to most men who have any knowledge of practical affairs, some business men, thousands of laborers, skilled and unskilled, and some men who are well known as writers upon economical questions, support it. The minds of ignorant, and, in many instances, vicious, as well as ignorant men, are being filled with false ideas by traveling lecturers and speakers, in some parts of the United States, and there is no organized effort to counteract it. The spirit of destructiveness and Communism is attracted very naturally by such arguments, and the result may be the prostration of industry and commerce for years, by the indefinite postponement of a return to convertibility of bank and government debt now used as money. The dialogue introduces a writer who favors a government currency convertible into funded debt, the latter being reconvertible into currency at the pleasure of the holder. How the government is to loan this currency without turning banker, this writer and his brethren are unable to say, because they have not thought about that. The dialogue introduces also a writer of the prevailing school of economists, who thinks bank credits are likely to liberate gold from banking reserves, until finally, as " clearings " are extended from time to time, the gold required for reserve becomes a mere trifle, and that metal as well as silver is largely exported and sold, for use in barbarous or half-civilized countries. The same writer insists that there cannot be such a thing as overproduction, and that a banking, commercial, and industrial crisis is merely a matter of " over-trading " and " speculation." These economists argue their own case together when they agree, and when they do not, each for himself, in opposition to a banker who has adopted the ideas maintained in the book above referred to. This banker insists that all money is substantially one and the same thing, - a process for the ex- change and distribution of the products of labor; that gold and silver are the most perfect form and kind of money, and that for all ratios of valuation and all equations of exchange between buyers and sellers, in order to have the true and real benefit which gold and silver are able to confer, a definite portion on short averages, of units of gold or silver, ought to form a part of the total number of units of money (whether units of bank or government debt constitute the remainder) in every ratio and equation. This result is obtained by a metallic reserve, varying in short periods only, from a definite ratio to bank-loans. ....

This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Louis Gottschalk Prize, American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies A Financial Times Best History Book of the Year A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Rebecca L. Spang, who revolutionized our understanding of the restaurant, has written a new history of money. It uses one of the most infamous examples of monetary innovation, the assignats—a currency initially defined by French revolutionaries as “circulating land”—to demonstrate that money is as much a social and political mediator as it is an economic instrument. Following the assignats from creation to abandonment, Spang shows them to be subject to the same slippages between policies and practice, intentions and outcomes, as other human inventions. “This is a quite brilliant, assertive book.” —Patrice Higonnet, Times Literary Supplement “Brilliant...What [Spang] proposes is nothing less than a new conceptualization of the revolution...She has provided historians—and not just those of France or the French Revolution—with a new set of lenses with which to view the past.” —Arthur Goldhammer, Bookforum “[Spang] views the French Revolution from rewardingly new angles by analyzing the cultural significance of money in the turbulent years of European war, domestic terror and inflation.” —Tony Barber, Financial Times

Download or read book Money and the Nation State written by Kevin Dowd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monetary and banking problems in the world today arise not so much from the failure of specific policies as from more deep-seated problems in institutional structures. Individuals clearly make mistakes and legislatures make bad laws, but the institutions from which decisions and laws emanate determine the effectiveness of social operations and the value of social decisions. Unless we change the present institutional structure, we are not likely to get stable solutions to today's most serious problems—ongoing and often erratic inflation and serious banking instability. Money and the Nation State examines the history of modern monetary and banking arrangements, some of the major monetary and banking problems, and options for meaningful reform. The common theme of all the essays is that current arrangements result less from the accomplishments of great men than man-made institutions that society has inherited—central banks and "the legal and regulatory frameworks that accompany them. The contributors emphasize the impact of political interference on the workings of monetary and financial institutions. Not surprisingly, they find many problems arise because politically generated structures are inappropriate to the real needs of the individuals and groups they are meant to serve. Money and the Nation State provides an essential framework for those willing to return to first principles in thinking about the role of monetary institutions in economic life. Economists, financial theorists, and the interested citizen will find it stimulating reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Mercantilism brings together a group of young early modern British and European historians to investigate what use the concept "mercantilism" might still hold for both scholars and teachers of the period. While scholars often find the term unsatisfactory, mercantilism has stubbornly survived both in our classrooms and in the general scholarly discourse. These essays propose that it is largely impossible to rethink "mercantilism," given its unique status as a non-entity, by looking for "mercantilism" itself. Economics as a discipline had not emerged by the seventeenth century, yet economic considerations were part of most intellectual pursuits, whether scientific, political, cultural, or social. Thus, the search for "mercantilism" is best undertaken through an investigation of how economic considerations were embedded in debates throughout the early modern intellectual landscape. With this in mind, this book seeks to rethink "mercantilism" inductively rather than deductively. Such an approach not only frees the debate from the strictures and assumptions of historiography reaching back to the Scottish Enlightenment, but also avoids viewing the period through the lens of modern economics. Exploring the period in its own terms makes it possible to revisit fruitfully and more holistically some of the traditional component parts of "mercantilism" such as the relationship between wealth and money, the modern state and commerce, economic and political thought, and power and prosperity only now informed and inflected by the questions raised in new approaches and trends to the intellectual, political, social, and cultural histories that populated the early modern world. The goal of this volume is not to abandon mercantilism as a concept but to rethink its intellectual and political content. First, rather than an ideology driven primarily by self-evident and narrow economic self-interest, "mercantilism" was inseparable from the rich transformations emerging out of the rapidly changing early modern intellectual landscape; as such, the study of mercantilism no longer appears solely as a subject of the history of economic thought, but part and parcel of early modern intellectual history more generally. Second, the book argues that the common vision of a "mercantile system" premised upon a coherent, strong, and expansive nation-state is unsustainable. The cornerstone of "mercantilism" has long been the assumption of a strong and coherent state apparatus with the authority to manage and manipulate the sphere of commerce for its own ends. This volume explores the implications on our understanding of early modern economic thought of the recent recognition among historians that the early modern state was rather weak, decentralized, and amorphous. Moreover, the fact that recent research has continually re-emphasized the role of a variety of political communities (not just the state, but also church, corporations, and communities of pirates and smugglers) in shaping public life recommends questioning which polities mercantilism sought to serve, and vice versa, at any given time. These and other questions will primarily be pursued in the English context, with occasional comparisons to the continental experience.
