Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents arguments against altering Britain's current monetary system, which employs a paper currency that is not convertible to specie. At its time of writing in 1810, the British economy was in a state of prosperity that the author attributes to the advantages of a non-convertible paper currency. Detailed discussion points include exchange rates, international trade, and the relative merits of coin, specie, and paper money. The author points out that during the seventeen years in which Great Britain experimented with paper money, it saw economic and social progress on an unparalleled scale. As such, the author advocates against returning to a specie-based system arguing that not only is the current paper currency system far more productive and profitable, but that it is also less vulnerable to the risks associated with specie, such as hoarding and theft.
