Gold, France, and the Great Depression, 1919-1932 (Yale Historical Publications Series)

H. Clark Johnson

4.9/5 (17273 ratings)

Description:H. Clark Johnson develops a convincing and original narrative of the events that led to the major economic catastrophe of the twentieth century. He identifies the undervaluation and consequent shortage of world gold reserves after World War I as the underlying cause of a sustained international price deflation that brought the Great Depression. And, he argues, the reserve-hoarding policies of central banks -- particularly the Bank of France -- were its proximate cause.The book presents a detailed history of the events that culminated in the depression, highlighting the role of specific economic events, national policies, and individuals. Johnson's analysis of how French domestic politics, diplomacy, economic ideology, and monetary policy contributed to the international deflation is new in the literature. He reaches provocative conclusions about the functioning of the pre-1914 gold standard, the spectacular postwar movement of gold to India, the return of sterling to prewar parity in 1925, the German reparations controversy, the stock market crash of 1929, the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930, the central European banking crisis of 1931, and the end of sterling convertibility in 1931. The book also provides a nuanced picture of Keynes during the years before his General Theory and deals at length with the history of economic thought in order to explain the failure of recent scholarship to adequately account for the Great Depression."Johnson has provided the first systematic study of the important, possibly pervasive, role played by French monetary policy in forcing a major deflation of the world economy which may account, in large measure, for the depth of the depression. Subsequentwork on the Great Depression will, I believe, acknowledge his pioneering work". -- Gail E. Makinen, Library of CongressWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
