Publisher's Synopsis
Bimetallism and Monometallism: Interview with the Most Reverend Dr. Walsh is a book originally published in 1893 by William Joseph Walsh. The book is a collection of interviews with Dr. Walsh, who was a prominent Catholic bishop and economist at the time. The interviews revolve around the topic of bimetallism and monometallism, which were two competing economic theories that were popular in the late 19th century.Bimetallism is the idea that a country should use two metals, usually gold and silver, as its currency. Monometallism, on the other hand, is the idea that a country should only use one metal, usually gold or silver, as its currency. Dr. Walsh was a proponent of bimetallism and believed that it was a more stable and fair system than monometallism.Throughout the book, Dr. Walsh discusses the history of bimetallism and monometallism, the economic theories behind them, and their practical applications. He also addresses criticisms of bimetallism and argues that it is a more equitable system for all members of society.Overall, Bimetallism and Monometallism: Interview with the Most Reverend Dr. Walsh is an important historical document that sheds light on the economic debates of the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economics or the development of monetary systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
