【内容提要】
COINAGE AND CRISES, THE EXAMPLE OF 19TH CENTURY
The lecture presents the monetary history of the second half of the 19th century, characterized by the shift from bimetallism (gold and silver coinage and legal tender) to monometallism (gold standard) between 1860 and 1914. The overproduction of silver was the main cause of the crisis, and the lecture reconsiders the traditional interpretation of its outbreak which was linking the crisis to the payment of the French indemnity to Germany after the defeat of 1870-1871. We present the facts and their interpretations. The lecture is divided in 6 points:
1 Coinage in European history
A general presentation of the monetary systems in Europe, origins of the coinage, the question of the metallic stock, the minting system.
2 Creation of Monetary Unions (from Antiquity to 19th century)
The crisis of euro is an opportunity to consider the former European monetary unions. There was a lot of monetary unions from the Roman period (3rd century BC) to the 19th c. All of them failed. It was a succession of unions and disunions.
3 The equilibrium (1800-1860)
The equilibrium of the monetary system is a condition for trade. It needs a stable proportion of gold, silver and copper. This equilibrium was the main characteristic of the 19th century. It was the condition for the development of trade and the development of the bourgeoisie.
4 Silver crisis (1860-1914)
The afflux of silver slowly destroyed the equilibrium we present the development of the crisis and the consequences of the afflux of silver.
