| | EH.Net Encyclopedia: Gold Standard |
| | The periods in which the gold standard flourished, the groupings of countries under the gold standard, and the dates during which individual countries adhered to this standard are delineated in the first section. | | | The gold-bullion standard did not exist in the classical period (although in Britain that standard was embedded in legislation of 1819 that established a transition to restoration of the gold standard). | | | However, the level of its domestic assets is dependent on its gold reserves, because the authority generates demand liabilities (notes and deposits) by increasing its assets, and convertibility of these liabilities must be supported by a gold reserve, if the gold standard is to be maintained. |

| | THE COSTS OF A GOLD STANDARD |
| | Opponents of the gold standard calculate the costs of gold in dollars and cents and report their calculations as a percentage of the economy's output. | | | That is, the resource costs of gold constitute a part of the costs of both standards, but all of the costs of neither standard. | | | In the judgment of the proponents of the gold standard, the benefits of gold, immunity from State intervention and the resulting monetary stability, outweigh the resource costs of gold—and any other costs that might be associated with the gold standard—by a comfortable margin. |

| | Cross of Gold speech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Backers of the gold standard felt that the protection against inflation was paramount, and the gold standard would prevent runaway inflation. | | | The speech advocated bimetallism; at the time, the Democratic Party wanted to standardize the value of the dollar to silver and opposed pegging the value of the United States dollar to a gold standard. | | | The inflation that would result from the silver standard would make it easier for poor farmers to pay off their farm debts by increasing their revenue dollars. |

| | What is the gold standard? |
| | The phrase “gold standard” is defined as the use of gold as the standard value for the money of a country. | | | Holdings of gold are still retained because it is an internationally recognized commodity, which cannot be legislated upon or manipulated by interested countries. | | | President Richard Nixon of U.S. closed the “gold window.” This action broke the last tie between gold and circulating currency, resulting in our modern financial system which is called a “floating currency” system. |

| | Memo, 12-12-97; "Gold Standard Mechanisms" |
| | The threat to a monetary standard that guarantees the value of government debt is not the standard, but the viability of the government. | | | A gold standard is one in which the national money is defined as a specific weight of gold. | | | Mechanisms can be changed to support the national monetary unit defined as a gold weight, but as long as the final objective is to preserve and guarantee the dollar/gold definition, it is a gold standard. |

| | Gold Standard |
| | Gold and Williams's excuse is pretty standard these days: They don't want to alienate their retail partners by selling directly to customers. | | | Gold and Williams have also insulated themselves from bad planning by forcing all of the retailers they work with to always keep every Mitchell Gold product that they show on their sales floor in inventory. | | | Of course, moving onto the Web too slowly can cost a company too, and Gold and Williams have received plenty of complaints from customers who have visited their site, liked a product, and were irritated to learn that they couldn't click and have a sofa show up seven days later. |

| | CAN THE U.S. RETURN TO A GOLD STANDARD? |
| | The increasingly numerous proponents of a GOLD STANDARD persuasively argue that budget deficits and large federal borrowings would be difficult to finance under such a standard. | | | A second advantage of gold notes is that they are likely to reduce current budget deficits. | | | However, unless the price of gold doubles over a five-year period (16% compounded annually), interest payments on the gold notes in terms of dollars will be less than conventional financing requires. |

| | Take Money Back |
| | Gold is market money, a commodity which must be supplied by being dug out of the ground and then processed; but government, on the contrary, supplies virtually costless paper money or bank checks out of thin air. | | | The answer is revealed by the fact that the Fed, which had promised to redeem its liabilities in gold, has been in default of that promise since Roosevelt's repudiation of the gold standard in 1933. | | | The universal and ancient use of gold and silver as moneys was pointed out by the first great monetary theorist, the eminent fourteenth-century French scholastic Jean Buridan, and then in all discussions of money down to money and banking textbooks until the Western governments abolished the gold standard in the early 1930s. |

| | The gold standard is a monetary system in which paper money is freely convertible into a fixed amount of gold. | | | Gold production soared so that by 1939 there was enough in the world to replace all global currency in circulation. | | | While gold coins and bullion continued to dominate the monetary system of Europe, it was not until the 18th century that paper money began to dominate. |

| | What Has Government Done to Our Money? The Classical Gold Standard |
| | The international gold standard meant that the benefits of having one money medium were extended throughout the world. | | | With the exception of the troublesome problem of silver, the world was on a gold standard, which meant that each national currency (the dollar, pound, franc, etc.) was merely a name for a certain definite weight of gold. | | | It must be emphasized that gold was not selected arbitrarily by governments to be the monetary standard. |

| | Gold Standard |
| | The gold standard was mainly used from 1875 to 1914 and also during the interwar years. | | | The exchange rate under the gold standard monetary system is determined by the economic difference for an ounce of gold between two currencies. | | | However, the system was flawed because countries needed to hold large gold reserves in order to keep up with the volatile nature of supply and demand for currency. |

| | The Unofficial Paul Krugman Web Page |
| | First, a gold standard would have all the disadvantages of any system of rigidly fixed exchange rates--and even economists who are enthusiastic about a common European currency generally think that fixing the European currency to the dollar or yen would be going too far. | | | While some modern nations have chosen, with reasonable justification, to renounce their monetary autonomy in favor of some external standard, the standard they choose these days is always the currency of another, presumably more responsible, nation. | | | Second, and crucially, gold is not a stable standard when measured in terms of other goods and services. |

| | Bimetallic Standard and bimetallism : an introduction |
| | A bimetallic standard is a monetary standard where the monetary unit is defined as consisting of either a certain amount of a metal or a certain amount of another, with the monetary authority being ready at all times to coin either metal at the legal price. | | | Whenever the market price of silver in terms of gold is sufficiently far from the legal ratio, the economy switches to a monometallic standard, using the relatively cheapest metal as money and removing the other from circulation. | | | You can pay your debt either in gold or in silver at the legal ratio |

| | Memo, 1-14-98; A Strict Gold Standard |
| | The gold standard worked in the 19th century not because banks held gold in equal reserves to the notes they issued, but because the United States government guaranteed its national debt in dollars at a specified weight of gold. | | | The establishment of the government standard is what enabled the private banks to issue notes that could circulate from one sphere to another, although their primary function was to intermediate bills of exchange denominated in dollars, even though those dollars technically did not exist. | | | The dollar reserves held by the banks are as good as gold if the Federal Reserve limits its creation of currency and bank reserves to the amount demanded at a fixed gold price. |

| | 1896: The Currency Question |
| | The continuance of the "present gold standard" means: | | | It would cheat lenders of an honest return on their money, allowing profligate borrowers to steal value from those who had extended loans. | | | Free silver at "16 to 1" would have expanded the money supply, but as a lone measure it would hardly have solved the nation's economic woes, and it would have (as Republicans argued) substantially raised the value of silver in relation to gold. |
