The Gold Standard Peripheries: Monetary Policy, Adjustment and Flexibility in a Global Setting

By Lars Fredrik Øksendal

The remarkably successful gold standard before 1914 was the first international monetary regime. This book addresses the experience of the gold standard peripheries; i.e. regime takers with limited influence on the regime. How did small countries adjust to an international monetary regime with seemingly little room for policy autonomy?
