This important contribution to comparative economic history
examines different countries' experiences with different monetary
regimes, laying particular emphasis on how the regimes fared when
placed under stress such as wars or other changes in the economic
environment. Covering the experience of ten countries over the
period 1700-1990, the contributors employ the latest techniques of
economic analysis in their studies. Several papers are concerned
with the transformation from bimetallism to gold monometallism in
the nineteenth century and the determinants of monetary regimes
transformation in the core countries of Britain, France and the
United States. Others focus on the successful and unsuccessful gold
standard experiences of Canada, Australia, and Spain, while yet
others examine the experience of wartime and postwar stabilizations
surrounding the two World Wars and the Napoleonic War.
