Dive into the contentious debates surrounding monetary policy at the turn of the 20th century with "Honest Money: 'Coin's' Fallacies Exposed," authored by Stanley Waterloo and William Hope Harvey. This volume presents a critical examination of the arguments put forth in Harvey's popular treatise, "Coin's Financial School," which advocated for the free coinage of silver.
Waterloo and Harvey engage in a detailed point-by-point rebuttal, challenging the economic theories underpinning the free silver movement. This book offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the economic anxieties and political passions of an era grappling with questions of currency, value, and national prosperity. Explore the historical context of the gold standard, the silverite movement, and the broader implications of monetary policy as illuminated by two prominent voices of their time. A valuable resource for understanding the roots of modern economic debates.
