Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History Latin Monetary Union: A Study of International Monetary Action In writing the following pages, I have attempted to do little more than to treat the history of the Latin Union, from its formation in 1865 to the present time. This book, therefore, is not a history of money in France and the allied countries, nor does it pretend to give a full account of the bimetallic controversy during the period in question. The reasons for this limitation in scope will be sufficiently apparent to require no detailed mention. Unity of purpose, however, has not been sought to the exclusion of matter which, while not directly pertinent to the subject in hand, is yet of importance in comprehending its historical relations. It has thus been thought helpful to give some attention to the course of monetary events leading up to action on the part of the Latin Union as a whole. Only so much has been said of the "international bimetallic conferences" as was necessary to explain the attitude adopted toward them by the union itself. Again, no more attention has been paid to the inconvertible paper of France and Italy than was necessary to explain the influence exerted by this currency upon the metallic money, in altering its distribution and deranging the working of the regulations providing for international circulation. The effort has everywhere been made to rely mainly upon original sources for information. In discussing the action of the Latin Union itself, the material has, of course, been gathered solely from the official reports. Nearly all of the important monetary documents published in France, Belgium, and Italy since 1850, especially those bearing directly upon the bimetallic question, have been examined. In studying the course of exchange and kindred matters, reliance has been placed upon the quotations as published in financial journals like the Economiste Français and London Economist, but, in attempting to explain the condition of the market, inferences have usually been independently drawn. Further, the purpose of furnishing some reason for current events by a reference to pre-existing conditions has been kept in view. The superficial facts in the history of the Latin Union are already familiar to the reading public. What is less well known is its internal history.
