Bücher von Michael D. (Rutgers University Bordo

This important contribution to comparative economic history examines different countries' experiences with different monetary regimes. Covering the experience of ten countries over the period 1700-1990, the book employs techniques of economic analysis to explain the adoption and relative success of different regimes.

This 1999 book contains a collection of Michael D. Bordo's classic pieces on the gold standard and related regimes based directly or indirectly on gold convertibility. Although the gold standard and its variants are now history, it still has great appeal for policymakers and scholars.
