In this volume an international team of monetary historians examine
the historical experience of exchange rate behaviour under
different monetary regimes. The main focus is on metallic standards
and fixed exchange rates, such as the gold standard. With its
combination of thematic overviews and case studies of key countries
and periods, this book provides enhanced understanding of past
monetary systems. The volume is divided into three parts. Part I
evaluates the various monetary systems. The performance of metallic
regimes is compared with the other monetary systems of human
history, using criteria such as growth, inflation and general
economic stability. Part II is concerned with the detailed
behaviour of exchange rates under historical metallic regimes. Much
attention is paid to the bimetallic standard of both gold and
silver. Part III examines the different behaviour of metallic
standards in the centre countries and at the periphery. This book
should be of interest to economic historians and general historians
with an interest in monetary history, and to scholars of
macroeconomics and international economics.
