Publisher's Synopsis
An Inquiry Into The Currency Principle is a book written by Thomas Tooke in 1844. The book explores the connection between the currency and prices, and argues for the separation of issue from banking. Tooke examines the role of the currency in the economy and how it affects prices. He argues that the quantity of money in circulation is a key determinant of prices, and that the government should have control over the currency supply. Tooke also advocates for the separation of issue from banking, arguing that banks should not be allowed to issue their own currency. Instead, he suggests that a central bank should be responsible for issuing currency, in order to prevent inflation and maintain stability in the economy. Overall, An Inquiry Into The Currency Principle is a seminal work in the field of monetary economics, and remains relevant today as a guide for policymakers and economists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
