U.K. and the Gold Standard in 1925, The
Abstract
Describes the issues and priorities involved in countries' use of the gold standard as the basis for managing their money supply. The setting of the United Kingdom in 1925 permits a real-world exploration of the important tradeoffs in "going back on gold" versus moving toward flexible "floating" exchange rates.
