Summary
Details

âUniversal Bimetallism and an International Monetary Clearing Houseâ by Richard Pennefather Rothwell, originally published in 1893, delves into the complexities of international monetary systems during a period of significant economic debate. Rothwell champions the adoption of bimetallismâ""the use of both gold and silver as legal tenderâ""as a solution to the monetary challenges of the late 19th century. This comprehensive work not only presents a detailed argument for bimetallism but also proposes the establishment of an international monetary clearing house to facilitate global trade and stabilize currency exchange rates.

The book includes a detailed record of the world's money supply, statistics on gold and silver production, and an analysis of various national monetary policies. Rothwellâ(TM)s insights offer a valuable perspective on the historical context of monetary policy and the challenges of international economic cooperation. This edition remains relevant for scholars and students interested in the history of economic thought and the evolution of global financial systems.
