Publisher's Synopsis
The Silver Question and the Gold Question is a historical book written by Robert Barclay in 1885. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the monetary systems in the United States and Europe during the late 19th century. Barclay delves into the debate over the use of gold or silver as the standard currency and the impact this decision would have on the economy. The author examines the historical context of the silver and gold debates, including the Coinage Act of 1873, which led to the demonetization of silver in the United States. He also analyzes the political and economic consequences of the gold standard, including the rise of monopolies and the impact on working-class citizens. The Silver Question and the Gold Question is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of monetary policy and the debates that shaped the modern financial system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
