Coin's Financial School is a book written by William Hope Harvey in 1894 that focuses on the monetary system of the United States. The book is written in the form of a fictional dialogue between a teacher, Mr. Coin, and his students. The book argues that the United States should adopt a bimetallic standard, meaning that both gold and silver should be used as currency, rather than just gold. Harvey uses this book to explain the history of monetary systems and the economic principles behind them. He argues that the current system in the United States, which is based solely on gold, is unfair to farmers and working-class individuals, who are often burdened with debt. Harvey contends that a bimetallic standard would provide more stability and fairness to the monetary system.Coin's Financial School was a popular book in its time, and it played a significant role in the debate over monetary policy in the late 19th century. The book was influential in the populist movement, which sought to promote the interests of farmers and working-class Americans. Today, the book is still studied by economists and historians as an important work in the history of monetary policy in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
