Opis

Did French gold policy cause the Great Depression? The Gold Standard Illusion draws on newly-available French records to test the gold standard interpretation of the Great Depression. It provides a history of French economic understanding, policy-making, and politics with regard to gold, monetary policy, and the key role of financial problems in political instability from 1914 to 1939.

Recenzje

Scholarly ... Mouré tells the story with an impressive narrative verve and, unusually, tries to see the situation from a French perspective.
