Название: A History of American Currency Издательство: Cosimo Classics Автор: William Graham Sumner Год: 1874 Количество страниц: 398 Формат: PDF Размер: 18 mb Язык: English IN A HISTORY OF AMERICAN CURRENCY, Yale Professor William G. Sumner examines the development of the monetary system in the United States, from the colonial era through the Civil War. He noted that the earliest British settlers brought with them virtually no money; the English government wouldn't allow it, and the Puritans had little or no use for it. Gradually, the settlers traded wampumpeag with their Native American neighbors, and eventually currency was developed to pay soldiers, finance expeditions, and trade with other nations. Sumner also covers the English Bank Restriction of 1797, the Bullion Report of 1810, and the development of Austrian paper money. Смотрите также связанные новостиКомментарии к статье: |
