Abstract

Lors de la préparation du passage à l’euro, le Comité pour l’histoire économique et financière de la France a souhaité accompagner cet événement monétaire par une série de conférences intitulée « Les Français et leur monnaie : le louis, le franc, l’euro et les autres ». Cinq historiens de renom - Jean Favier, Guy Antonetti, Jean Tulard, Alain Plessis et Jean-Charles Asselain - ont répondu à l’invitation en offrant aux auditeurs une réflexion sur la monnaie en France du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Une table ronde, réunissant Raymond Barre, Jacques Delors et plusieurs hauts fonctionnaires acteurs des réformes monétaires des trente dernières années, ainsi qu’une allocution de Laurent Fabius, alors ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, ont clôturé ce cycle le 18 février 2002, lendemain du retrait de la monnaie nationale. Ces textes accessibles au plus grand nombre, accompagnés de glossaires et d’une chronologie détaillée, offrent des points de repère précis sur l’histoire de la monnaie depuis la naissance du franc en 1360 jusqu’à l’avènement de l’euro. Ces interventions soulignent l’importance de la monnaie comme instrument économique et financier et comme symbole et outil politiques. Elles rappellent également les conséquences des évolutions monétaires successives sur la vie quotidienne des Français. Cet ouvrage, préfacé par Thierry Breton ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, intéressera aussi bien les étudiants en histoire économique et financière que les numismates, et plus largement tous ceux qui auront connu la fin du franc.

Abstract

National currencies appear to be threatened from all sides. European Union member countries are due to abandon their national currencies in favour of a supranational currency by the year 2000. Elsewhere, the use of foreign currencies within national economic spaces is on the increase, as shown by the growth of eurocurrency activity, and currency substitution in many parts of the world. In the last decade, privately-issued sub-national local currencies have also proliferated in a number of countries, and predict the emergence of private electronic monies of the future. In the light of t

Abstract

The idea of free (or laissez-faire) banking has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance in recent years. It is a novel idea that challenges much of what many banking scholars still take for granted - that banking is inherently unstable, that the banking system needs a lender of last resort or deposit insurance to defend it in a crisis, and that the Government has to protect the value of the currency. Against this free banking sets an argument which is in essence very simple: if markets are generally better at allocating resources than governments, then what is different about money and the industr

Abstract

This book explores the past and future of central bank cooperation. In today's global economy, the cooperation between central banks is a key element in maintaining or restoring monetary and financial stability, thereby ensuring a smooth functioning of the international financial system. In this book, economists, historians, and political scientists look back at the experience of central bank cooperation during the past century - at its goals, nature, and processes and at its successes and failures - and draw lessons for the future. Particular attention is devoted to the role played by central bank cooperation in the formulation of minimum capital standards for internationally active banks (the Basel Capital Accord, Basel II), and in the process of European monetary unification and the introduction of the Euro.

Abstract

The present global monetary regime is based on floating among the major advanced countries. A key underlying factor behind the present regime is credibility to maintain stable monetary policies. The origin of credibility in monetary regimes goes back to the pre-1914 classical gold standard. In that regime, adherence by central banks to the rule of convertibility of national currencies in terms of a fixed weight of gold provided a nominal anchor to the price level. Between 1914 and the present several monetary regimes gradually moved away from gold, with varying success in maintaining price stability and credibility. In this book, the editors present ten studies combining historical narrative with econometrics that analyze the role of credibility in four monetary regimes, from the gold standard to the present managed float.

Abstract

This book provides a comprehensive survey of the major developments in monetary theory and policy from David Hume and Adam Smith to Walter Bagehot and Knut Wicksell. In particular, it seeks to explain why it took so long for a theory of central banking to penetrate mainstream thought. The book investigates how major monetary theorists understood the roles of the invisible and visible hands in money, credit and banking; what they thought about rules and discretion and the role played by commodity-money in their conceptualizations; whether or not they distinguished between the two different roles carried out via the financial system - making payments efficiently within the exchange process and facilitating intermediation in the capital market; how they perceived the influence of the monetary system on macroeconomic aggregates such as the price level, output and accumulation of wealth; and finally, what they thought about monetary policy.
