American monetary policy in the nineteenth century

.

Chapter 6 in A Comparative History of Central Bank Behavior, 2022, pp 134-158 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The new U.S. generally conformed to the British monetary system (except for its multitude of banks), with a commitment to the gold standard except in war time. The monetary problems addressed in this chapter are the post-War of 1812 and Civil War resumptions, the choice between a national bank and an independent treasury as the monetary authority, and the gold v. silver contest during the late 19th century deflation.
