Publisher's Synopsis
""A Letter to Robert Peel, on the Pernicious Effects of a Variable Standard of Value"" is a book written by Edward Copleston in 1819. The book is a critique of the British monetary system of the time, which was based on a variable standard of value. Copleston argues that this system was causing economic instability and that a fixed standard of value was necessary for the country's financial health. The book is addressed to Robert Peel, a prominent politician who was a proponent of the variable standard of value. Copleston's arguments are based on economic theory and historical evidence, and he presents a compelling case for the adoption of a fixed standard of value. The book is an important contribution to the history of monetary policy and is still relevant today in discussions about the role of government in regulating the economy.""Especially As It Regards The Condition Of The Lower Orders And The Poor Laws.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
