The Gold Standard and Monetary Tool Chest
The text argues for gold as the true standard of value while acknowledging other money forms as useful tools. It explains that a single, determinate standard is essential and that various instruments like checks and drafts multiply exchange tools. It contrasts gold’s role with silver and paper money and critiques both fiat and free silver positions without endorsing excess changes.
