Further Considerations Concerning Raising The Value Of Money

By John Locke

Book Overview

Further Considerations Concerning Raising The Value Of Money is a book written by John Locke, a prominent philosopher and economist of the 17th century. In this book, Locke explores the economic concept of raising the value of money, which refers to a decrease in the general price level of goods and services in a country.Locke argues that raising the value of money can have significant benefits for a country's economy, including increased exports, decreased imports, and a more stable currency. He also discusses the potential drawbacks of raising the value of money, such as the negative impact on debtors and the potential for deflation.Throughout the book, Locke presents his ideas in a clear and logical manner, drawing on both economic theory and real-world examples to support his arguments. He also engages with the ideas of other prominent economists and philosophers of his time, including David Hume and William Petty.Overall, Further Considerations Concerning Raising The Value Of Money is a significant work in the history of economic thought, offering valuable insights into the complex relationship between money, prices, and the broader economy.That the World will not wonder you should not be for such a lessening our Coin, as will, without any Reason, deprive great Numbers of blameless Men of a Fifth Part of their Estates, beyond the Relief of Chancery. I hope this Age will scape so great a Blemish. I doubt not but there are many, who, for the Service of their Countrey, and for the Support of the Government, would gladly part with, not only one Fifth, but a much larger Portion of their Estates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
