Multiple currency standard revived by Norton
John Pease Norton, a Yale lecturer and former Blwke and Robinson secretary, calls for a monetary system with a central bank and commodity backed credit notes. He cites Jevons' 40 year old idea of a currency based on commodities like gold coal cotton and lead, issued against stored goods up to 10 percent of value. Prof Jenks of Cornell warns prices will stay high while gold flows flood the market, noting money in circulation drives costs.
