Japan's Sliver Policy and Monetary Decline
Fred Perry Powers argues in Sound Currency that Japan's silver yen policy failed to sustain a mint ratio equal to the market rate, denuding gold circulation and harming labor while enriching capitalists. He cites wage declines from 70 to 180 yen annually for a five-member lower middle class family between 1872 and 1893, and drastic drops in silver yen value over 22 years. He notes large U S and British exports to Japan and Japan's sizable import totals in the late 19th century.
