By:Georg Friedrich Knapp
Published on 2013-10-01 by Martino Fine Books

2013 Reprint of 1924 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Georg Friedrich Knapp (1842-1926) was a German economist who in 1895 published |The State Theory of Money,| which founded the chartalist school of monetary theory, which takes the statist stance that money must have no intrinsic value and strictly be used as governmentally-issued token, i.e., fiat money. Published originally in 1905, it created a stir among academics and policy makers, with proponents and critics both arguing forcefully about it. It was written at a time when monetary matters were in a great flux. Throughout the world, countries debated the optimal metallic standard for their monetary systems. Should it be silver, gold, both in a fixed relation (bimetallism), a combination of the two (symmetalism), or should the selection of the standard be left to the market? Knapp put the debate on new ground by suggesting that there need not be a metallic standard at all. Ideas about the desirability of paper money not backed by gold or other metals had been presented before but were never able to command academic respectability.

Best Seller Everything for Everyone

Everything for Everyone High quality books Everything for Everyone By:Nathan Schneider Published on 2018-09-11 by Hachette UK The origins of the next radical economy is rooted in a tradition that has empowered people for centuries and is now making a comeback. A new feudalism is on the rise. While monopolistic corporations feed their spoils to the rich, more and more of us are expected to live gig to gig. But, as Nathan Schneider shows, an alternative to the robber-baron economy is hiding in plain sight; we just need to know where to look. Cooperatives are jointly owned, democratically controlled enterprises that advance the economic, social, and cultural interests of their members. They often emerge during moments of crisis not unlike our own, putting people in charge of the workplaces, credit unions, grocery stores, healthcare, and utilities they depend on. Everything for Everyone chronicles this revolution--from taxi cooperatives keeping Uber at bay, to an outspoken mayor transformi...

Best Seller The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century High quality books The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century By:Steven Bryan Published on 2010-08-31 by Columbia University Press By the end of the nineteenth century, the world was ready to adopt the gold standard out of concerns of national power, prestige, and anti-English competition. Yet although the gold standard allowed countries to enact a virtual single world currency, the years before World War I were not a time of unfettered liberal economics and one-world, one-market harmony. Outside of Europe, the gold standard became a tool for nationalists and protectionists primarily interested in growing domestic industry and imperial expansion. This overlooked trend, provocatively reassessed in Steven Bryan's well-documented history, contradicts our conception of the gold standard as a British-based system infused with English ideas, interests, and institutions. In countries like Japan and Argentina, where nationa...
