Bi-Metallism: A Lecture (1879)

Bi-Metallism: A Lecture (1879) is a book written by Hugh McCulloch that discusses the concept of bi-metallism, which is the use of two metals, usually gold and silver, as the basis for a monetary system. In this lecture, McCulloch argues that bi-metallism is a flawed system that can lead to economic instability and inflation. He provides historical examples of countries that have attempted bi-metallism and the negative consequences that resulted. McCulloch also discusses the role of the government in regulating the monetary system and the importance of maintaining a stable currency. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of monetary policy and the debate over bi-metallism in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
