'A History of Money' presents a detailed history of money from Charlemagne's reform to the end of the Silver Wars in 1896. John Chown provides a summary of 20th century events and an analysis of how the past relates to present problems. He shows that most difficulties associated with money today have precedents in the past. Chown covers the great periods of monetary disputes: Henry VIII and Sir Thomas Gresham, Isaac Newton's Great Recoinage of 1696, Ricardo and the Bullion Committee Report, the battle between the banking and currency schools, and the issues of bimetallism and European monetary union in the late 19th century. The monetary theories of such diverse figures as Locke, Defoe, Swift and Sir Walter Scott are discussed as well as those of many economists. The book provides international coverage and includes material on the controversial private banking period in the United States between Independence and the Civil War.
