Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a treatise on bimetallism and its effects on England and India, written by David Miller Barbour. The theory of bimetallism holds that two metals, typically gold and silver, should be simultaneously recognized as legal tender and bear a fixed ratio to one another. Barbour argues that the partial demonetization of silver in England had negative effects on India's economy, which relied heavily on silver as a currency.
