Publisher's Synopsis
""The Money and the Finances of the French Revolution of 1789: Assignats and Mandats, A True History"" by Stephen D. Dillaye is a comprehensive study of the financial system that emerged during the French Revolution. The book examines the use of assignats and mandats, two types of paper currency that were introduced during the revolution, and their impact on the economy and society of France. Dillaye provides a detailed analysis of the political and economic factors that led to the creation of these currencies, as well as the challenges and controversies that arose as they were implemented. He also explores the broader context of the French Revolution, including the social and political upheavals that accompanied it, and the ways in which the financial system reflected and contributed to these changes.Throughout the book, Dillaye draws on a wide range of primary sources, including government documents, contemporary accounts, and personal correspondence, to provide a rich and nuanced picture of the financial landscape of the French Revolution. The result is a compelling and informative account of one of the most important and tumultuous periods in European history, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of finance, economics, or political revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
