It reflects the debates of the period over the gold standard, bimetallism (the free silver movement), and the monetary reform of 1873. Walker examines the mechanisms of money, internal monetary dynamics (bank notes, coinage, etc.), and issues specific to the contemporary U.S. economy.Unquestionably the most prominent and best known of American [economic] writers (F.W. Tausig, quoted in the Dictionary of American Biography, X:343-44).(The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 1987, vol. 4, p. 850).Copy bearing the authors presentation inscription: With the homage of the Author, very likely addressed to Léon Say, whose engraved bookplate appears on the verso of the front free endpaper.
