Chapter 9 in Institutions Always “Mattered”, 2015, pp 122-132 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Similar to fiscal policy, the historical literature gives a very positive assessment of monetary and currency policy with minimal metallic debasement. Noting consequently low inflation, together with the fiscal prudence discussed in the previous chapter, such credible monetary policy and stable currency, plus sufficient credit availability to fuel commerce, provided in Mediaeval Ragusa the now-traditional pillars of trade expansion and economic development.
