Description
The classical gold standard has long been a source of fascination to historians, monetary economists and policy makers. This literature has centred on the few countries of the "core" which adhered longest and most consistently to it and misses out on the 40 odd countries which also adopted it at some stage. This book focuses on a sample of six of the latter, from Europe and Latin America, and discusses the specific problems they encountered as members of this system.
