The Dollar, The Franc, And Inflation (1933)

The Dollar, The Franc, And Inflation is a book written by Eleanor Lansing Dulles in 1933. The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic conditions prevailing in the United States and Europe during the Great Depression. Dulles, who was an economist and a government official, offers her insights into the factors that led to the economic crisis and the measures that could be taken to mitigate its impact. The book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different aspect of the economic crisis. The first part focuses on the causes of the depression, including the stock market crash of 1929, the collapse of the banking system, and the failure of the gold standard. The second part examines the impact of the depression on the United States and Europe, including the rise of unemployment, the decline in industrial production, and the social unrest that ensued. The third part of the book offers solutions to the economic crisis, including the need for international cooperation, the importance of monetary policy, and the role of government intervention in the economy. Dulles argues that the United States should abandon the gold standard and adopt a more flexible monetary policy that would allow for greater government intervention in the economy. Overall, The Dollar, The Franc, And Inflation is a comprehensive analysis of the economic conditions prevailing during the Great Depression. Dulles' insights into the causes and solutions to the crisis remain relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the economic history of the United States and Europe.This Brief Study Of Inflation In The United States And In France Was Written In November 1933, With The Sincere Conviction That There Are Serious Dangers Ahead Which Can Still, To A Considerable Extent, Be Avoided By Careful Statesmanship Guided By A Strong Expression Of Public Desire For Sound Money.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
