Currency Reform: Improvement Not Depreciation (1844)

By Thomas Joplin

Book Overview

Currency Reform: Improvement Not Depreciation is a book written by Thomas Joplin and originally published in 1844. The book discusses the issue of currency reform in the United Kingdom during the mid-19th century. Joplin argues that the current currency system, which was based on the gold standard, was causing economic instability and needed to be reformed. He proposes a new system that would use paper money backed by a reserve of gold and silver, which he believed would provide greater stability and flexibility in the economy. The book also addresses the issue of currency depreciation, which was a major concern at the time. Joplin argues that currency depreciation was not a solution to economic problems and that currency reform was a better approach. The book is considered an important contribution to the debate on currency reform in the 19th century and remains relevant to discussions on monetary policy to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
