The Money Of The People (1895)

By William Hope Harvey

Book Overview

The Money Of The People is a book written by William Hope Harvey in 1895. The book is an analysis of the American financial system and the problems associated with it during the late 19th century. Harvey argues that the control of money should be in the hands of the people, rather than in the hands of the government or private banking institutions. He suggests that a system of government-controlled currency, backed by the value of the country's resources, would be more stable and beneficial for the people. The book also discusses the issue of inflation and the impact it has on the economy. Harvey proposes a solution to this problem by advocating for a system of fixed currency, which would prevent the devaluation of money. The Money Of The People is an important historical work that offers insight into the economic and political debates of the late 19th century, and it remains relevant today as debates about the role of government in the economy continue to be discussed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
