Further Considerations Concerning Raising The Value Of Money

Further Considerations Concerning Raising The Value Of Money is a book written by John Locke, a prominent philosopher and economist of the 17th century. The book is a continuation of Locke's earlier work, Some Considerations on the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest and the Raising of the Value of Money, which was published in 1691. In this book, Locke explores the economic implications of raising the value of money, which was a major concern during his time. He argues that increasing the value of money would lead to a decrease in prices and an increase in the purchasing power of individuals. He also discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of this policy, including its impact on trade, employment, and the national debt. Locke's arguments are grounded in his belief in the importance of individual liberty and property rights. He argues that any policy that interferes with these principles is ultimately harmful to the economy and society as a whole. Overall, Further Considerations Concerning Raising The Value Of Money is an important work in the history of economic thought, and continues to be studied and debated by economists and philosophers today.That the World will not wonder you should not be for such a lessening our Coin, as will, without any Reason, deprive great Numbers of blameless Men of a Fifth Part of their Estates, beyond the Relief of Chancery. I hope this Age will scape so great a Blemish. I doubt not but there are many, who, for the Service of their Countrey, and for the Support of the Government, would gladly part with, not only one Fifth, but a much larger Portion of their Estates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
