Lawrence H. Officer
Systematic and authoritative, this book provides a fresh look at historical experiences of monetary-standard upheavals: the Bank of England Restriction Period (1797-1821), the New England colony (1703-49), and the United States (1792-1932). Gold considers a crucial time (1958-67), during which central-bank gold-dollar decisions were power-politically determined. Presenting the lifelong and ongoing research of Lawrence H. Officer, it explores such issues as market structure and economic efficiency, financing of the United Nations and International Monetary Fund, the monetary history of the UK and US and central-bank preferences between gold and dollars. Divided into four core parts, "Pricing Theory, Financing of International Organisations and Monetary History" covers: multidimensional pricing; application to oceanic shipping of commodities; and, the financing of international organizations. This creative and important new volume will be of great interest to students and researchers involved in understanding the applications of monetary theory to the modern world.
