This title was first published in 2000. This is a history of the
monetary developments in the international economy of the 19th
century. It reviews the monetary developments in the core economies
of the period: Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and
also India. Particular attention is given to the expansion of the
gold standard in the context of the intense national and
international debates about the role of precious metals and the
author also examines the conflict between supporters of gold,
silver and bimetallism, both in terms of competing financial and
economic theories and in terms of the varying social and cultural
backgrounds that informed them. The main thrust of the work is that
the sheer plurality of ideas and contexts helped to ensure the
eventual victory of the gold standard, despite the inherent
superiority of bimetallic systems.
