In this sequel to Gold:
the Once and Future Money, Nathan Lewis describes the theoretical basis
of gold-standard monetary systems. Lewis argues that the pre-1913 world gold
standard system was perhaps the most successful monetary system the world has
ever seen, enabling high levels of economic growth. Descriptions of both
Britain’s economic rise under the gold standard and the United States’ rise to
economic prominence under gold are also discussed. Lewis offers the technical
details necessary to implement and maintain a gold-standard system. Join us for
a lively discussion of monetary history and a glance into one possible monetary
future.
