A bold, practical plan to blend gold and silver in a single monetary system. This work outlines how coinage, paper money, and accounts could merge the values of the two metals into a composite dollar of account. It proposes concrete steps for moving toward a stable, universal currency built on cometallic principles.
Presented as a clear framework for reform, the book argues that a mutually balanced standard could reduce financial uncertainty and harmonize private and public interests. It covers the theory of pooling functions, the concept of a Dollar of Account, and the role of coin certificates and equal-metal reserves in everyday transactions. The author also explores international implications and transition measures designed to ease adoption.
Ideal for readers interested in monetary reform, coinage history, and proposals that aim to stabilize value through metal-based blended standards.
