The book is an in-depth analysis of the paper credit system in Great Britain, which refers to the use of paper money and banknotes as a substitute for gold and silver coinage. Thornton examines the history, mechanics, and consequences of the paper credit system, including its impact on the economy, trade, and government finances. He argues that the system has both advantages and drawbacks, and that its stability depends on a delicate balance between the supply of paper money and the demand for it.
