Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Bank Charter Act of 1844, which introduced major reforms to the regulation of banknotes in England and Wales. The author was a vocal critic of the Act, believing that it aggravated the commercial distress of 1847. This book explores the historical context of the Act, as well as the arguments for and against the Act. The author argues that the Act was based on a flawed understanding of the nature of money and credit, and that it had a number of negative consequences, including increased volatility in interest rates and a reduction in the availability of credit. The book concludes by offering a number of proposals for reforming the Act.
