Coin’s Financial School (1894)

Coin's Financial School is a book written by William Hope Harvey, originally published in 1894. The book is a fictional dialogue between a young man named Coin and a group of politicians, bankers, and economists, discussing the financial system of the United States. The book argues that the financial system of the United States is flawed and that the country should adopt a bimetallic standard, using both gold and silver as currency. Harvey argues that this would increase the money supply and stimulate economic growth, particularly in the agricultural sector.Throughout the book, Coin and his companions debate the merits of the gold standard versus the bimetallic standard, with Harvey using historical examples and economic theory to support his arguments. The book also includes charts and graphs to illustrate Harvey's points.Coin's Financial School was a popular book in its time and played a role in the political debates over monetary policy in the late 19th century. Today, it is considered a classic work of monetary theory and a valuable historical document.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
