Publisher's Synopsis

The Money Of The People is a book written by William Hope Harvey in 1895. The book aims to provide an alternative perspective on the issue of money, its creation, and its circulation. Harvey argues that the current monetary system, which is based on gold and silver standards, is flawed and unfair. He proposes a new system of money creation, which he calls ""the people's money."" Harvey believes that money should be created by the government, rather than by private banks, and that it should be backed by the full faith and credit of the nation. He argues that this would eliminate the need for interest payments on loans, which he sees as a form of exploitation. The book also discusses the history of money and the role it has played in shaping society. Harvey argues that the current monetary system has led to a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, and that this has had negative consequences for democracy and social justice. Overall, The Money Of The People is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to question their assumptions about money and its role in society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, politics, or social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
