Gold and the Gold Standard: The Story of Gold Money, Past, Present and Future

by Edwin Walter Kemmerer

Edwin Walter Kemmerer was one of the unsung heroes of the 20th century. A Professor of Economics at Princeton, he was known as the “money doctor” between the wars, helping countries to establish and maintain strong currencies between 1923 and 1933. He was a firm advocate of the gold standard and favored hard money with convertibility domestic and international.

This is his major treatise: Gold and the Gold Standard: The Story of Gold Money, Past, Present, and Future, which was first published in 1944. In it, Kemmerer reviews the history of gold and its outstanding merit as a currency and presents a plan that likely may have saved the world from hyperinflation and the booms and busts of the past 50 years.
